"My physician told me I had nohing to be concerned over since the
blood was just from hemorrhoids." That is how too many cases of
medical malpractice or possibly wrongful death from
colon cancer
begin. This note analyzes how a person younger than 50 may die of
colon cancer when a doctor decides reports of blood in the stool
are because of hemorrhoids . This may result in a significant
holdup in diagnosis . This delay might let the cancer progress to
the point where treatment is no longer effective. When a situation
like this occurs and the person either is faced with
stage 4 colon
cancer or dies due to the fact the cancer spread to the point
of not being curable as a result of the delay in diagnosis the
surviving family might be able to bring a case against the doctor
who caused the delay
If you have any health or medical concerns speak to a physician
immediately. Should you suspect you might have a medical
malpractice case speak to a lawyer instantly as the time within
which you must pursue a claim is limited. The material in this note
is meant for general informational uses only and is not medical or
legal advice.
