MISDIAGNOSIS AND FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE IS MALPRACTICE
Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose an illness can have grave consequences. Remember the guy that went to the hospital with Ebola and they sent him home! Medical professionals have a duty to investigate thoroughly when symptoms are presented. They have a duty to the patient and to the Community. The wrong diagnosis will not bring you the care you need in a timely manner and might even make things worse. This is when you need to call experienced New York City Medical Malpractice Lawyers to aggressively prosecute your claim.
Here are some common examples of when misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose can be very serious:
- Delayed diagnosis of cancer can make treatment more complicated and might even prevent survival
- Failure to detect heart conditions can lead to a heart attack
- Failure to diagnose meningitis at an early state might render it impossible to treat
- Sending a patient home with a serious infection such as sepsis.
These cases are complicated, and many attorneys will claim to handle malpractice cases, but few have the experience and resources to be successful. At New York City Medical Malpractice lawyers Wittenstein & Wittenstein, we can cases that other attorneys won’t, and we get cases that they drop. Why not call us first?
To prove medical malpractice for misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, it must be determined that the disease could have been detected at an earlier stage. The medical records are examined to see if the proper tests were done. If tests were taken such as cat scans and MRI’s attorneys look to see whether they were properly read.
If you believe you might be a victim of a doctor’s misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose your illness, it’s a very good idea to take advantage of our free consultation at New York City Medical Malpractice Lawyers, Wittenstein & Wittenstein, to determine whether or not this is true. You may have a claim or you may not. Either way you get closure on the issue rather than pondering it endlessly. It doesn’t hurt to know. Please call us at 718-261-8114 to make an appointment.

The Resistance Is Open Source
Every successful movement for justice has learned the same lesson the hard way: no single group gets to win alone — and no single group gets to control the win. understood this deeply. He did not build the civil-rights movement by consolidating power, branding ownership, or guarding access. He built it by insisting on coalition — across churches, synagogues, mosques, labor, students, artists, and neighborhood leaders — and by reminding people that moral authority collapses when ego takes the wheel. History bears him out. The modern labor movement offers one of the clearest examples of both success and failure. Labor’s greatest gains came during the 1930s and 1940s, when industrial unions coordinated across sectors through [...]

Reject the Evidence of Your Eyes and Ears: Orwell’s 1984, Trump, ICE, and the Loyalty Test of Fascism
George Orwell’s 1984 warned that authoritarian power ultimately demands one thing above all else: loyalty proven by denying reality itself. That warning is no longer abstract. From January 6 to the killing of Nicole Good by ICE, Americans are being asked to reject what they can plainly see and hear—and to treat that denial as a civic duty. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”—George Orwell, 1984 The second sentence is the point. Orwell was not describing secret propaganda or subtle mind control. He was describing a system in which truth becomes subordinate to loyalty. Once people can be trained to say [...]
Queens Says No Kings: The Making of a Queens-Wide Resistance Coalition
Queens Says No Kings is a Queens-based activist coalition formed in late 2024 in direct response to the reelection of Donald Trump. From the beginning, it brought together leaders of existing Queens activist groups who understood that the political moment demanded coordination across neighborhoods and organizations, not isolated actions. What followed was not a smooth or linear process, but a sequence of actions, leadership transitions, and creative breakthroughs that reshaped how large-scale resistance organizing took form in Queens. Formation: Stop the Steal for Real (Late 2024) The coalition began in late 2024 under its original working name, Stop the Steal for Real. The name reflected a clear rejection of authoritarian narratives and a commitment to [...]
Community Is Not a Brand — It’s a Practice
Community doesn’t appear fully formed. It’s built through repetition, trust, and showing up when it would be easier not to. In Queens, community work rarely announces itself as something grand. It looks like folding tables carried out early in the morning. It looks like hand-lettered signs drying on the floor. It looks like people learning each other’s names slowly, sometimes awkwardly, over weeks and months. It looks like neighbors deciding that the conditions they’re living under are not inevitable — and that they’re willing to do something together. That kind of community doesn’t come from aesthetics or slogans. It comes from practice. Place Matters Community organizing is always shaped by where it happens. Queens is [...]
What Is an Art Build?
How Art Builds Strengthen Protest Movements Through Visual Language An art build is a gathering that happens before a protest, march, or rally to create large-scale, coordinated visual elements that will be deployed together in public space. Rather than focusing on a single object, an art build brings people together to construct a shared visual language—one that can hold across streets, crowds, architecture, and cameras. Some kinds of political expression can’t be made by one person, at one table, in one afternoon; they require planning, shared labor, and agreement about how a movement wants to appear when it shows up. Art builds are a core practice in contemporary protest movements, especially in New York City, [...]
