We depend on the doctors we see most often — including general practitioners and OB/GYN physicians — to listen to our health concerns. We count on them to take us seriously, ask the right questions and investigate all possible causes of troubling symptoms.
This means taking the time to consider the possibility of major illnesses as well as the most likely, common causes of pain or other problems. It may mean ordering the right tests at the right time or providing a referral to a specialist, among other actions.
Did Your Upstate New York Doctor Fail to Diagnose a Serious Illness?
When a primary care physician (PCP) or other doctor waits too long to order an essential test or otherwise violates the applicable standard of care, consequences can be absolutely devastating. Failure to diagnose cancer, treat a life-threatening infection or address another serious condition in a timely manner may allow irreversible progression and even lead to a tragic wrongful death.
