What you need to know about misdiagnosis of cancer or infection
Medical malpractice is essentially the failure of a medical provider to use reasonable care in treating a patient. The standard of care is a national standard. Physicians should provide the same standard of care the medical profession accepts everywhere in the same or similar circumstances. You may be a victim of malpractice if your healthcare provider did not diagnose a condition in a timely manner or neglected to perform certain tests.

You or a loved one may have suffered serious injury or life-changing circumstances due to a physician's failure to meet the standard of care. If so, you may have legal recourse.

Do I have a case?
Most types of cancer are completely curable if diagnosed early. Many types of cancer produce signs and symptoms which your doctor should recognize long before the cancer becomes incurable. Most infections, likewise, are completely curable if diagnosed and treated in time. Infection almost always produces signs and symptoms which your doctor should recognize before an infection gets out of control. Many deaths from cancer or infection are completely preventible if standard of care is met.
