Hospital Negligence | Medical Negligence

There are three main ways a doctor might make a misdiagnosis:

By failing to diagnose a health problem entirely.
By diagnosing the wrong condition (misdiagnosis).
By making the correct diagnosis but delaying it due to other errors.

These can happen in any hospital department, including A&E and can cause serious damage and injury.

Common mistakes include:

Not examining a patient properly or noting all their symptoms.
Not taking a patient’s history into account.
Not arranging necessary investigations, x-rays or tests.
Not carrying out the right investigations, x-rays or tests.
Not interpreting investigations properly.
Not spotting illnesses, such as meningitis.
Making a late or delayed diagnosis of a serious medical condition, such as cancer.
Failing to identify, diagnose and/or adequately treat a fracture.
Dismissing repeat visits to a GP, which could have suggested a more serious underlying condition.
Not ensuring a patient is seen by a senior member of staff.
Making administrative errors.

Hospital Negligence & Treatment Errors – Even if a correct diagnosis has been made, it is possible for mistakes to occur during treatment. Some common failures can include:

Not giving the correct treatment.
Not operating when necessary.
Not noticing when patients get worse.
Not appropriately monitoring a patient’s condition and taking relevant action.
Poor hospital care, leading to illness, bed/pressure sores, dehydration and malnutrition.

I could not have wished for more from a legal firm. The facts surrounding my case were quickly assessed and the advice I received led to a successful conclusion. Emma Cornell was always very approachable and reassuring in all my dealings with the firm. Highly recommend!
