Misdiagnosis is among the most common forms of medical negligence. It happens millions of times every year, and can have devastating consequences, such as unnecessary surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment.

The expert should also demonstrate that the physician did not sufficiently add the illness to the list of differential diagnoses by using methods like asking further questions, observing further, or ordering more tests as part of the diagnostic process.

A plaintiff must also show that the injuries resulting from the mistake were the direct result of the breach of duty.
