Understanding Delayed Diagnosis and Its Impact
Delayed diagnosis refers to a situation where a medical professional fails to identify and diagnose a condition within an appropriate time frame. This can result in the advancement of an illness or injury, leading to more severe health problems or even fatalities. Reasons for delayed diagnosis may include failure to recognize symptoms, misinterpretation of test results, failure to refer to specialists, or simply oversight and negligence on the part of medical staff. In some cases, delayed diagnosis can mean a condition progresses to an untreatable stage, causing irreparable damage and significant emotional distress for patients and their families.
