Inability to recognize

Undiagnosed cancers, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots, such as DVT are all examples of medical malpractice.

Medical professionals are required to fulfill their duty of caring to patients, and they have to fulfill this obligation in a reasonable way. To prove that a health care professional failed to live up to this standard, your lawyer will need review your medical records, and consult experts in medicine who can compare your case to how other doctors would have dealt with your situation.

Inability to refer

If a doctor discovers that a patient is suffering from medical conditions that require intervention beyond their knowledge, it is usually considered to be part of their duty to refer them to a physician who can offer treatment. A violation of the standard could occur if a doctor does not refer a patient to a physician who can provide care. If this happens it could lead to a malpractice claim be filed.
