Was Your Loved One’s Stroke Misdiagnosed?
Stroke misdiagnosis is a tragic and all-too-common form of medical negligence. A stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate recognition and treatment. When a doctor fails to properly diagnose a stroke, it can lead to life-altering consequences or even wrongful death.
Strokes are cerebrovascular diseases, affecting the brain and its blood vessels. Most are ischemic, caused by narrowed or blocked arteries or a blood clot that disrupts blood flow to the brain. Recognizing stroke symptoms is essential for timely treatment, and these symptoms may include:
- Paralysis or numbness on one side of the body
- Tingling in a limb
- Dizziness
- Severe headache
- Confusion
- Difficulty speaking
- Fainting
Doctors have a duty to promptly diagnose and treat strokes. If they fail in this duty, and your loved one suffers as a result, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
