A diagnostic error is quite common when it comes to medical profession, it involves a doctor providing a patient a wrong judgement and thus a false diagnosis. A special medical negligence lawyers should be the one who decides whether the misjudgement should be classed as a professional mistake. Unfortunately only a skilled person with special expertise is able to assess whether the specific doctor’s mistake was wrong, according to the rules and procedure applicable with the medical profession. More importantly they decide what effect this misjudgement had on the patient, and whether this will or already has had an impact upon the overall health of the patient. The responsibility of the doctor will be ignored if the doctor was either constrained with limited medical knowledge or if he/she nevertheless tried to provide as much care as possible. In such situations, even a complete misdiagnosis cannot depend fully on the medical liability.

Bear in mind that only the intentional misleading of conduct can lead to a doctor being accused of medical malpractice allegations. More importantly, the doctor has an obligation to always act with care towards every patient, according to the principles of medical knowledge. However there is no obligatory rules that state that the patient should be fully healed, instead a doctor should do anything possible, in order to support those who require the help. The inappropriate performance and attitudes of a doctor may therefore result from disobeying or ignoring vital procedures, for example, performing a necessary diagnosis research, carrying out crucial and frequent one to one visits with the patient, and lastly lacking the verified test results.
