Medical Condition Misdiagnosis & Malpractice in Los Angeles

What is misdiagnosis? Misdiagnosis of a medical condition occurs when a medical professional, upon examining a patient, mistakes the symptoms or signs of one condition to another. Misdiagnosis may be related to medical negligence or medical malpractice if a doctor should have been more careful, should have ordered additional testing or should have otherwise acted differently and in accordance with current medical standards. Depending on the case, misdiagnosis may cause serious injury or may even be deadly.
