3 Questions About Medical Malpractice | What is Failure to Diagnose?
When you have a medical condition, you present with certain physical signs and traits as well as complaints of symptoms. When enough signs are present and accompanied by a clinical presentation of symptoms then a physician is obligated to recognize those signs and symptoms and diagnose your condition.
