When Doctors Fail to Follow the Differential Diagnosis Method
Posted by: Tom Warner
October 16, 2009
Topic: Medical Malpractice
What Can Happen When Doctors Fail to Use This Method Correctly
The reason that doctors are universally taught the Differential Diagnosis Method early in medical school is because this method has a proven track record for arriving at the correct diagnosis so that the patient receives proper medical interventions and care. When a doctor fails to use the method or fails to use it correctly, the doctor has not provided standard medical care. If the doctor fails to properly diagnose and treat a patient's serious medical condition and it results in serious harm or death, the doctor may be sued for medical malpractice.

Topic: Medical Malpractice
The lawyer defending Dr. Stephen Schneider in several medical malpractice lawsuits asked the court to suspend those cases while the doctor awaits trial on federal criminal charges. Dr. Schneider is accused of negligently writing prescriptions for narcotics that resulted in patients becoming addicted to the strong painkillers or dying from overdoses. Dr. Schneider is facing 34 federal charges, along with his wife, relating to their prescribing of the strong narcotics and the deaths and addictions that followed according to papers filed in federal court by the U.S Attorney. Dr. Schneider's wife, Linda, was an L.P.N. who managed their Haysville, Kansas clinic. Both Schneider's have denied any wrongdoing.

Topic: Workers Compensation
In a new workers compensation opinion handed down today by the Kansas Court of Appeals, a fired worker will not have his wages imputed as a result of the termination. The court ruled that workers compensation statutes should be construed as written and there is no provision in the workers compensation law that allows a wage to be imputed when the worker has been fired.
