These errors often result in a wrong diagnosis, although most occur as the consequence of negligence on the physician or other healthcare provider's part.<br /><br /> Common incorrectly or missed diagnoses include:<br /> <ul> <li>Breast, cervical, prostate, ovarian, testicular, and lung cancers</li> <li>Heart attack</li> <li>Appendicitis</li> <li>Stroke</li> <li>Pulmonary Embolism</li> <li>Diabetes</li> <li>Tuberculosis</li> <li>Bacterial Meningitis</li> </ul> A wrong diagnosis occurs when a physician fails to identify correctly a disease, particularly when the condition is rare or has general symptoms. These diagnoses come in four types.<br /> <ul> <li>Wrong disease diagnosed: occurs when a doctor diagnoses one disease but the patient really has another</li> <li>Healthy but Diagnosed as Ill: a rare form of wrong diagnosis but some patients have been diagnosed as having a disease but are really perfectly healthy</li> <li>Sick but Diagnosed as Healthy: a healthy diagnosis is given to a patient that really is not healthy</li> <li>Subtype of Disease Misdiagnosed: this occurs when the doctor gets the first part of the disease correct but misses the subtype. An example would be diagnosing someone with Type 1 Diabetes when they really have Type 2</li> </ul> A wrongly diagnosed condition can result in serious, potentially fatal, consequences for the patient. If you have been wrongly diagnosed, you may be eligible to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the responsible party. The <strong>Milwaukee medical malpractice attorneys</strong> of Habush Habush and Rottier S.C. are here to help you pursue these claims. </div> </td> </tr> </table></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=19> <IMG SRC="images/internal_081804_25.gif" WIDTH=760 HEIGHT=37 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=94 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=85 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=11 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=83 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=11 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=84 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=13 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=44 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=11 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=88 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=12 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=81 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=13 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=8 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=45 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=11 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=36 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=20 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="15"> <tr> <td><div align="center"> <span class="bottom"><a href="firmover.htm"><font color="#000000">Firm Overview</font></a> | <a href="attorneys.htm"><font color="#000000">Our Attorneys</font></a> | <a href="practice.htm"><font color="#000000">Types of Cases</font></a> | <a href="results.htm"><font color="#000000">Results</font></a> | <a href="news.htm"><font color="#000000">News Line</font></a> | <a href="charitable.htm"><font color="#000000">Charitable Funds</font></a> | <a href="resources.htm"><font color="#000000">Resources</font></a><br> <a href="locations.htm"><font color="#000000">Office Locations</font></a> | <a href="contact.php"><font color="#000000">Contact Us</font></a> | <a href="home.htm"><font color="#000000">Home</font></a><br> <br> <font size="1">The information contained in the site is not intended to provide legal advice.<br> You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your situation.</font></span></div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-812607-45"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
