When Doctors Fail to Follow the Differential Diagnosis Method

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:36:28 -0700

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.
