Medical Errors:

• False Diagnosis/Wrong Diagnosis in Virginia: Learn From Recent Incident of Blatant Malpractice   
  Description: The term "wrong diagnosis" brings to mind a recent story of a doctor falsely diagnosing potentially thousands of children with seizure disorders (such as epilepsy) in order to make money off of referrals to medical specialists. Some cases of wrong diagnosis, however, do not result from blatant malpractice, but simple negligence on the part of the medical expert, such as the failure to exercise due care. Listed here are some of the common injuries or conditions that are often falsely diagnosed in Virginia.
• Wrongful Death From Norfolk or Virginia Medical Malpractice   
  Description: When you entrust a loved one into the hands of a physician, surgeon, or hospital, the pain of medical errors or malpractice can be extraordinarily difficult to bear. When your family member dies as the result of a Virginia medical error, that pain is only magnified. After the tragedy of loss, however, obtaining help with related medical expenses, burial costs, and funeral expenses can lessen the financial burden on surviving family members so they can focus their energy on healthy grieving and recovery.
