Medical malpractice can be difficult to detect, especially when patients trust that their doctors have their best interests at heart. However, there are several red flags that may indicate a problem:
- Unexpected or Worsening Symptoms: If your condition doesn’t improve or worsens without explanation, it may signal a misdiagnosis or improper treatment.
- Conflicting Diagnoses: Getting different diagnoses from multiple providers could indicate a lack of proper evaluation.
- Delayed Treatment: Long waits for tests, diagnosis, or treatment can negatively affect health outcomes and may be a sign of negligence.
- Lack of Informed Consent: You should be fully informed about risks before procedures. If you weren’t, that’s a violation of your rights.
- Unusual Behavior from Medical Staff: Evasiveness, poor communication, or reluctance to answer questions may be cause for concern.
If you suspect something is wrong, trust your instincts. Document your experience and reach out for legal guidance. Pisanchyn Law Firm has extensive experience uncovering the truth in complex medical cases.
