For victims who are suffering from treatment failures, it seems that the oath all doctors and physicians take which commands them to do no harm was all but forgotten. Treatment failures or another form of medical malpractice can take many forms when a professional fails to follow the established set of care guidelines for patients.
Failure to treat may take on several forms. A doctor or other medical professional may be guilty of failing to treat a patient if they:
It is important to note that a poor outcome does not necessarily mean that a doctor or other medical professional was to blame. However, if a medical failure was the result of a medical error or negligence by the professional or if the doctor fails to render treatment to a patient with a medical condition, negligence may have occurred.
When a doctor or other professional fails to treat a patient’s condition, the condition goes unchecked and is allowed to continue. For example, a doctor fails to treat cancer, and a malignant tumor is allowed to grow, metastasize and move into other body parts, making it more difficult or even impossible to treat. If the doctor had ordered the right tests earlier in the patient’s life or not delayed treatment of the patient’s condition, the patient’s outcome may have been much more favorable. In this case, delaying treatment may have caused irreparable harm to the patient whereas early treatment could have stopped the condition before it worsened.
If you or someone you know has experienced any of the aforementioned examples of treatment failure it is important that you consult with one of our highly trained Cleveland attorneys at Paulozzi LPA. We do not take treatment failures lightly and don’t believe that you should either.
