Causes of missdiagnosis
Diagnosis can go incorrect by many ways. Patient
• Doctor
• Specialist
• Tests (laboratory or pathology tests)
• Patient
• Self diagnosis
Patient: It seems poor form to guilt a patient for a wrong diagnosis, and certainly blame is probably the wrong word. however, the patient is concerned, and can put in to a wrong diagnosis.
Self diagnosis: Attempting to do so themselves without professional medical advice is the most probable way for a patient to donate to a misdiagnosis.
We have observed sometimes patients don’t tell the doctors everything. Sometimes symptoms are embarrassing. You might think they’re not worth mentioning other times. Unless the doctor asks some people won’t point out a symptom, and assume it must be irrelevant if the doctor doesn’t ask about it directly. no matter how trivial always tell the doctor everything, , no matter if you believe it unrelated. Let the doctor have all the facts.
Failure to complete ordered tests:, Patients don’t get diagnostic tests done, even when a doctor has planned the tests in some cases. This can occur due to oversight, complacency, laziness, or embarassment.
