Was the Heart Attack Preventable?
A young person complains to a doctor about anxiety, restlessness, dizziness, nausea and sweating. The doctor says he or she is suffering from panic attacks and prescribes anti-anxiety medication. Two days later the young person dies of a heart attack.
Who is to blame in this scenario? If a doctor fails to conduct the required tests just because the patient is younger, a woman, or complains of atypical symptoms, the doctor can be held responsible for the damages suffered by the patient and the family.
These cases are very complex, involving hundreds or thousands of documents and complicated medical evidence. Only an experienced attorney with a proven track record of success can handle a case like yours with confidence.
If you suffered permanent damage or lost a family member because of a doctor's misdiagnosis of heart disease, please contact us today to learn how we can help you recover and begin to rebuild your life.
