Common Examples of Treatment Failures

When medical professionals fail to follow established care guidelines, it can result in treatment failures, a serious form of medical malpractice. Some common examples of treatment failures include:

  • Failing to assess the patient’s condition properly.
  • Failing to diagnose a disease or medical condition accurately.
  • Failing to provide the correct diagnosis.
  • Failing to monitor a known medical condition.
  • Failing to order required or appropriate tests, including X-rays and imaging studies.
  • Failing to order necessary post-diagnostic tests.
  • Failing to refer a patient to a specialist when needed.
  • Failing to treat a medical problem in a timely manner.
  • Failing to inform the patient about available treatment options.
  • Failing to provide emergency care for patients with stroke or heart attack symptoms.
  • Failing to communicate with the patient about their condition.

It’s important to understand that a poor outcome doesn’t always mean a medical professional is to blame. However, if the failure to treat resulted from medical error or negligence, you may have a valid claim.

When a medical professional fails to treat a condition, the condition may worsen. For example, if a doctor fails to treat cancer, the tumor may grow and spread, making treatment more difficult or even impossible. Early treatment could have improved the patient’s outcome, but delaying treatment may cause irreparable harm.

If you or someone you know has experienced any of these treatment failures, consult one of our highly trained Ohio attorneys at Paulozzi LPA. We take treatment failures seriously and are here to help you.
