Medical Misdiagnosis is a serious risk every time you go to the hospital.
There are many ways that a medical misdiagnosis can present itself. Whether a doctor is at fault, or hospital staff, a misdiagnosis of a serious illness can have very extreme and harmful effects.

Medical Malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree

professional would use under routine circumstances.
