A very common medical negligence error is a failure to diagnose an illness, condition, disease or syndrome. Cancers, lyme disease and autoimmune disorders like diabetes are some of the more common issues seen in failure to diagnose claims in Delaware, Maryland and Washington D.C. Much like a medical misdiagnosis failure to accurately diagnose any type of illness stems from healthcare provider negligence. Either they did not acquire a full, and comprehensive, patient history, certain diagnostic tests were overlooked (labs, biopsies, bloodwork, x-rays, MRI, CT scans, etc.) and in many cases they were not ordered at all.
