A deceased woman’s family is suing the Louisiana doctor and medical clinic who they claim misdiagnosed the woman’s leukemia, as reported at lousianarecord.com. The woman eventually died from leukemia while under the defendant’s care, according to the family’s complaint.
The patient consulted the doctor and clinic a number of times exhibiting symptoms of leukemia, the plaintiffs allege. Someone told the doctor to perform a bone marrow biopsy, but the doctor did not perform the test. The patient died, and the family claims she missed the opportunity for treatment because the defendants failed to diagnose her condition. The plaintiffs filed a wrongful death action for the alleged medical negligence.
Medical errors are irreversible and can cause further injury and death, as in this instance. The family of this woman will never recover their loved one, but they can receive fair financial compensation for their loss and emotional suffering. Even the most highly trained and reputable medical professionals make errors on the job. Eligible family members have only a limited amount of time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
