Misdiagnosis
One of the most common types of medical malpractice is misdiagnosis. A doctor does not have to physically do anything wrong to be sued for medical malpractice. The ways in which a medical worker can greatly harm a patient is not only with their own hands, but by making a mistake in words or diagnosis.
Medical misdiagnosis can even lead to far worse things than just a small slip of the wrist by a doctor. Medical misdiagnosis is when a doctor, dentist or nurse practitioner leads a patient greatly astray by diagnosing him or her with the wrong disease or disorder.

The Effects of Medical Misdiagnosis
While medical misdiagnosis may seem to be less serious than a doctor, say, leaving something in a person�s body during surgery, this is not the case. Medical misdiagnosis can lead to:
- Missed, valuable treatment time, which can be especially dangerous for diseases like cancer.
- Significantly worsened states of sickness � The ill person will continue to get worse and worse when they have a disease that was misdiagnosed making it much more difficult to treat them if and when the mistake is detected.
- The treatment for the wrong diagnosis may make the person seriously ill.
Medical misdiagnosis is a serious threat to any ill person.
