Leukemia Misdiagnosis
Columbus, Ohio, Leukemia Misdiagnosis Attorney
While leukemia is typically diagnosed through blood sample examination, proper follow up with a marrow sample is key for a definitive diagnosis. When a physician dismisses possible symptoms, the result can be missing the proper diagnosis.
If leukemia is not diagnosed quickly, the situation can be dire, particularly for adults. Any delay in treatment compromise the patient’s chances for recovery. When medical professionals dismiss particular symptoms or do not order the proper tests, they should be held accountable.
