Emergency Room Misdiagnosis
Emergency room misdiagnosis happens more than most of us would like to admit. The fast and frantic pace of the emergency room leaves much more room for error than a simple prescheduled doctor’s visit. The pace or stress level of the visit should not have any effect on the diagnosis of your condition, though.
Many mistakes in the emergency room are preventable and this is grounds for medical malpractice against the emergency room nurse or doctor for their negligence. You should consult with our Pennsylvania ER misdiagnosis attorneys if you or a loved one is the victim of emergency room misdiagnosis.
Misdiagnosis in the ER can happen from the very beginning of your visit. An initial assessment could be incorrect causing a delay in diagnosis and treatment or even a failure to diagnose the patient with the correct condition. These ER mistakes have effects that last further than the emergency room. An incorrect diagnosis in the ER can lead to the patient not receiving the treatment they need, receiving the wrong treatment, preventing them from seeing specialists, and even missing out on treatment and diagnosis altogether.
COMMON EMERGENCY ROOM MISDIAGNOSIS CONDITIONS
- Tuberculosis
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Heart Attack
- Strokes
- Pulmonary Embolism
- Bacterial Meningitis
- Appendicitis
Many of these conditions are life threatening if the physician or other health care provider fails to consider them in making a diagnosis.
Understaffing in hospitals or emergency rooms that are not fully equipped to treat patients may lead to fatal errors while dealing with patients requiring emergency treatment. When the necessary steps of treating an emergency room patient are missed, then an emergency error may result.
