Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose can result in improper medical care, delayed treatment, or no treatment, which in turn injures or worsens the patient’s medical condition.

Some common reasons misdiagnosis happens include:
Inadequately trained medical care providers
Errors in test results (flawed equipment or human error)
Medical tests were read incorrectly (CAT scans, X-rays, blood tests, etc.)
Your lab results were mixed up with another patient’s results
Miscommunication in the health team
Declining to order appropriate tests indicated by symptoms
Failure to contact patients with abnormal test results
ER staff fatigue
