Failure to Diagnose CancerThe Failure to Diagnose Cancer - Diagnosis Errors that KillAn Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyer in New York and New JerseyYou haven't been feeling well. It could be a recent thing that came on suddenly. It might be something that's been slowly creeping up on you over the course of months. In either case, you go to the emergency room or to the clinic or to see your own doctor. Wherever it is, it's busy. A nurse sees you first, then the doctor. You wait. And wait. And wait. It's nothing to worry about they tell you; maybe writing you a prescription for something at the same time. They say: "You'll be fine." Weeks or months later, you find out you are NOT fine. You receive the dreaded diagnosis of cancer, or heart failure, or other serious disease. The scenario just described is more common than many people think.
