A Pennsylvania woman was awarded $1.88 million in a medical malpractice case concerning the death of her husband. The cancer that killed him was not diagnosed until well after it should have been.

Over a 16 month period, the man visited his urologist several times complaining of urinary problems. The doctor diagnosed an enlarged prostate but did not investigate further, allowing the cancer to progress.

Failure to diagnose can be a very serious form of medical malpractice. Often it can lead to unnecessary suffering and death. A common form of this might be diagnosing a simple cold when a patient has a much more serious underlying disease.

Some of the most immediate problems can arise from failure to diagnose conditions like heart attacks and strokes. If not treated immediately, these conditions can kill or permanently injure patients.
