Cliam for Wrongful Death when the Radiologist Fails to Diagnose Enlarging Aortic Aneurysm

Here is a Wrongful Death Claim Article posted by James Lewis, my co-worker and colleague. This is interesting in the fact it was not the doctor but the radiologist who failed to due his job. It has a link to some great questions to ask the next time you see your family doctor, or the emergency room doctor, to make sure this doesn't happen to you. The cause of this Wrongful Death was an Enlarging Aortic Aneurysm that was missed in an Emergency Room visit and only five days later ruptured.

To undergo several laboratory tests is one way of finding the cause of a person’s illness. We trust the hospital’s personnel’s and medical employees because we believe they are having legal certificates to do so. The criminals would make diplomas for aspiring nurses for around €15,000 or about $19,000 US. They also would have the "nurse" complete some rudimentary training such as IV placement and basic injections so they wouldn't be easily discovered. In America, everyone's heard of the wrong limb being amputated, or wrong organ removed, which is horrifying, but not common in the least. Misdiagnosis and accidental death are more common. Some human error is to be expected, but one issue facing the medical field that has been brewing for some time was the workweek of interns and residents. Recent polls indicate that the longest shift worked by those in residency was about 37.6 hours, and over 80 weekly hours was common. If your ER doctor looks sleepy, and you don't have an affliction that needs immediate treatment, consider rescheduling.
