Rhode Island Diagnostic Error Attorneys
Failure to Diagnose, Delayed Diagnosis & Other Diagnostic Errors
Before any medical condition can be properly treated it must be diagnosed. The doctor or other healthcare professional whose services are sought must consider the patient’s symptoms and medical history, must perform tests as necessary, and must use this information and test results to determine what the condition is and what course of treatment will be best for the patient.
An accurate diagnosis is the only way treatment will be successful. And in some cases, a timely diagnosis may be a patient’s only chance at survival.
