Some delays cause serious injury or death, some do not. These medical malpractice cases require a great deal of work and research.<\/p>\n If the Doctor follows the standard of care of a reasonably prudent Doctor in working up a patient, there is no malpractice. On the other hand, if delays in diagnosis were caused by the unreasonable failure to perform tests or if the Doctor fails to read the test results, there may well be malpractice. Often, Doctors are too busy to listen to their patients, which can be fatal.<\/p>\n Often, the delay in diagnosis is caused by the failure to refer the patient to a specialist. Unfortunately, some insurance policies reward the doctor for not making referrals, so the doctor saves money by denying care.<\/p>\n These cases involve a two-stage analysis.
