Failure to Diagnose
Failure to diagnose any type of injury, illness, or disease can result in serious consequences for one’s health. In most situations, prompt diagnosis is the key to treating the ailment; the sooner it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat or cure. In some situations failure to diagnose a condition may not result in any problems at all, but in others there may be severe consequences, including death. Provided below is the Patients bill of rights that has passed in the Senate. This bill tries to assist Patients to ensure that they get the proper care and ensure that critical health issues do not go unnoticed.
The Senate-passed Patients' Bill of Rights confers a broad array of rights on patients. The bill would ensure that patients have the right to:
- have their medical decisions made by a doctor;
- see a medical specialist;
- go to the closest emergency room;
- designate a pediatrician as a primary care doctor for their children;
- keep the same doctor throughout their medical treatment;
- obtain the prescription drugs their doctor prescribes;
- access a fair and independent appeals process if care is denied; and
- hold their health plan accountable for harm done.
If you feel that your right's have been violated or if you or someone you know has suffered due to a doctor’s "failure to diagnose" a condition, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Please click on the link provided below for a free evaluation of your claim by an experienced attorney.
