Is there a way to check out my doctor or surgeon before choosing one?
While you can never find out every little thing about your doctor, there are a few things you can do to make an informed decision. First, ask questions: – Where did you go to medical school? – What American Board of Medical Specialty Certifications do you have? – How long have you been practicing? – Are there any disciplinary actions outstanding against you? All of these are perfectly legitimate to ask. But, if you don’t want to talk to your doctor about this, you can get all this information from http://www.askmedi.com/ for $15. Shopping around for a good physician is one of the best medical decisions you can make. For other information about medical negligence/case results of our firm, surf around this website.

Is a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer evidence of medical negligence?
It is possible that a misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis will not be evidence of negligence. However, the answer to the question often hinges on whether evidence of cancer was visible to the radiologist when reading the x-ray, CT or MRI study. A central issue is whether a reasonably prudent (i.e., good, careful) radiologist would have understood the abnormality shown on the study when reading it.
