When Hospital Negligence Leads to Emergency Room Error
A patient went to the emergency room with an acute problem. While his symptoms are alleviated, it later turned out that he had a serious health problem that should have been diagnosed.
Doctors in a trauma setting behave differently — in an effort to diagnose and treat life threatening conditions, they diagnose patients on a triage basis. This sometimes causes them to only address acute problems, and to miss potentially serious matters that should have been addressed. If a healthcare provider missed something during a emergency room visit, you may be able to take legal action. The best way to know for sure, however, is to contact the Law Offices of Piazza, Simmons & Grant, L.L.C., and schedule a free initial consultation.
