The Life Care Solutions Group discusses options for patients who have been injured by a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

CONCORD, CA, USA, October 11, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Statistics suggest that an estimated 40,000 deaths are caused by a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of patients’ conditions in the U.S. Many patients make the decision to trust in the recommendations of health care providers due to the expectation that they are knowledgeable and well trained when it comes to providing patients with the appropriate standard of care. When a doctor makes a medical mistake such as misdiagnosing one’s condition or failing to properly diagnose a health problem in a timely manner, the consequences can be life altering for patients as well as the negligent health care professional.

Common complaints reported by patients who have been injured by a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis include:

• A failure by a doctor to administer necessary tests
• The overlooking of a patient’s described symptoms
• The misreading of test results
• A delay in beginning treatment for conditions that are known
• A failure to recognize symptoms inherent in a patient that may be linked to a serious condition

Several factors may play a role in a patient being improperly diagnosed with a condition or diagnosed after a health complication has advanced to a more serious stage. Overcrowding of medical care facilities, understaffing, poor training, and funding issues are a few of the problems that can lead to these types of medical errors, and put the health of patients in jeopardy.
