- Cancer misdiagnosis can mean delayed treatment while the cancer continues to grow. A cancer that might have been stopped in the early stages becomes a life threatening condition. When a doctor fails to diagnose breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, or any other type of cancer, delayed treatment can create a far more grim prognosis.
- A heart attack or stroke may be misdiagnosed as a digestive problem or anxiety in the emergency room. The patient may be sent home and a life will be at even greater risk of death.
- Meningitis and other serious infections may be misdiagnosed as being flu or other minor illnesses. Such serious infections must be diagnosed and treated immediately or they quickly become life threatening.
