Modern technology has made it easier for doctors to properly screen and to identify health conditions and injuries. When conducted properly, medical screenings such as CT scans, MRI’s, and electrocardiograms can identify when patients are facing medical emergencies and can provide healthcare providers with insight how best to treat a patient.However, when a doctor fails to order the proper medical tests or fails to conduct these tests with professional diligence, it can be the basis for a medical malpractice claim. If you believe that you or a family member has suffered an injury because a doctor did not order or adequately test for a medical condition or injury, contact a Palm Beach County inadequate testing lawyer today.

When a doctor fails to adequately test and screen a patient they may miss a critical diagnosis, may deliver inadequate treatment, or make an inappropriate medical decision. In these cases, a patient must show that the doctor not only breached the standard of care, but that the patient suffered an injury.
