Medical Help Following Health Care Providers' Failure to Diagnose and Treat a Stroke
Emergency room physicians and other medical care providers sometimes fail to correctly diagnose a stroke because stroke symptoms like numbness in the extremities and headaches can also indicate less serious ailments. Medical providers, however, know that stroke symptoms resemble the symptoms of lesser medical issues and should therefore exercise additional diligence in investigating the possibility that a stroke has occurred. When they fail in their duty and severe injuries or wrongful death result, the victim or victim's family may have a right to receive financial compensation.
