Medical Misdiagnosis Claims in Missouri
Don't Wait to Get Help With Your Case Today
Misdiagnosis can cause delayed or improper treatment of your illness. It
can result in significant harm and can cause irreparable damage. Your
doctor has a duty of care to use the tools at their disposal to provide
you with an accurate diagnosis, but they may fail to do so. At
Bertram & Graf, L.L.C. we work to hold healthcare providers responsible for the decisions that
impact their patients’ lives.
Commonly Misdiagnosed Illnesses
Improper treatments following misdiagnosis can cause a number of unnecessary
side effects. Your true condition remains untreated and may worsen over
time. Doctors can fail to detect many common conditions or chronic illnesses,
including but not limited to:
- Strokes
- Celiac Disease
- Lyme Disease
- Thyroid Conditions
- Pulmonary Embolisms
- Depression
- Cancer
- Heart Attacks
- Fibromyalgia
- Heart Disease
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Brain Tumors
Misdiagnosing any of the above can delay appropriate treatment, causing
undue suffering and, in some instances, endangering patients’ lives.
Emergency Room Delays in Treatment
For acute conditions, accurate and prompt treatment can be the difference
between life and death. Emergency rooms are often equipped with highly
trained medical professionals who have experience quickly diagnosing serious
ailments and beginning treatment. Delays in treatments for many severe
medical conditions, such as strokes, heart attacks, septic shock, or kidney
infections, can leave lasting effects on the patient and may cause irreversible damage.
