MISDIAGNOSIS: COMMON TYPE OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE Although America has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world, medical professionals are still prone to human error.

Patients who do not disclose their full medical history with their physician. Doctors who do not perform a comprehensive evaluation on patients, and therefore miss crucial information that may lead to a diagnosis. Doctors who do not schedule enough time with each patient and rush through the evaluation process. Doctors who are fatigued or have not received the proper training. Doctors who are dealing with a rare condition that they have never seen or have little experience with.
