Appendicitis Misdiagnosis
Complications and fatalities can arise when treatment is delayed for conditions such as appendicitis. The generalised nature of appendicitis symptoms is one reason why the condition is commonly misdiagnosed. These symptoms can include:
- Nausea
- Fever (High Temperature)
- Pain in the abdomen
- Vomit and Diarrhoea
A full examination should be undertaken by a medical professional if a patient has pains in the abdomen. If they are unable to determine the cause of the pain, it is normal for an image, urine or blood test to be carried out. You may be able to retrieve compensation if you believe that your doctor was negligent in diagnosing or treating your appendicitis.
Appendicitis can be resolved easily by removing the appendix in surgery. This operation should take place without delay. If it is not done quickly the appendix can burst which can spread infection, increase pain and make the chance of a fatality more likely.
Failure to make the correct diagnosis can mean that a patient receives an inappropriate standard of care. This negligence can mean that a patient may experience further suffering and possibly develop peritonitis.
