Misread Pap Test Cost Dr. $495,000



In this case, the doctor told the patient that she needed a hysterectomy to remove her uterus because she had invasive cervical cancer. After surgery, the pathology results revealed that this patient never had any type of invasive cancer. It turns out that the original Pap test was misread as well and the cone biopsy test was interpreted incorrectly as well. Watch the video to learn what happened.

$4.5 Million For Failure To Diagnose Breast Cancer



http://www.oginski-law.com

The mammogram results were interpreted as "normal" but her lump continue to grow. She was then referred to a breast surgeon for biopsy.

Unfortunately, the surgeon failed to biopsy the actual lump, and instead got surrounding tissue which was read as "normal." He didn't realize it at the time, but he missed the lump.

After being reassured by various doctors that she only had cystic breasts and there was no cancer, she gave no further thought to the mass in her breast. Finally, the mass became so pronounced that upon further evaluation, she learned that she had stage IV breast cancer.

When her treating doctors looked back at the original tests, they realized that there was evidence of cancer which was never detected or treated. Watch the video to find out what treatment she could have received which would have saved her life.

Failure to Diagnose Cancer



http://www.oginski-law.com

Early detection and treatment is the key when it comes to treating patients with any type of cancer. A failure to diagnose can have devastating effects on you.

A mis-read mammogram; a failure to obtain a biopsy; improperly interpreted pathology slides; or a failure to listen carefully to a patient's complaints, can all result in a death sentence for an unsuspecting patient.

If you have specific complaints that your doctor is not addressing then you should get a second medical opinion.

You don't want to be sitting in an Attorney's office kicking yourself wondering why you never went to another doctor when you kept complaining about a problem that your doctor simply did not deal with.
