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.

Art Builds Communities

Art does not arrive fully formed. It is built—collectively, physically, in shared space. Before it appears on a street or in a march, it appears in conversation, in planning sessions, in rooms where people cut, paint, argue, revise, and keep going. This process is not secondary to the work. It is the work. Community is strengthened not only by what art represents, but by how it is made. An art build gathers people who might not otherwise meet. It gives them a common task, a shared visual language, and a reason to stay in the room together long enough for trust to form. The result is more than objects. It is continuity. In preparation for [...]

Art as Power

Art is a form of power that operates through images rather than decree. It shapes perception, organizes memory, and gives structure to experiences that resist easy narration. Long before it persuades, art reorients: it trains attention, alters scale, and determines what is allowed to remain visible. My own work begins from this premise. Images are not neutral, and symbols are never incidental. They accumulate meaning through repetition, circulation, and use—through being carried, held, worn, or encountered unexpectedly. Over time, certain forms insist on returning. A flower becomes a sign of refusal rather than ornament. A future date becomes a horizon rather than a prediction. These are not abstractions; they are working tools. Throughout history, images [...]

Introducing Project 2029

Project 2029 began as a deliberate shift in how I use imagination. More than thirty-five years ago, I made dystopian films that imagined political and social futures shaped by fear, institutional failure, and concentration of power. At the time, those futures felt exaggerated—useful as warnings, but safely distant from reality. Over time, many of the conditions those films explored stopped feeling speculative and began to feel familiar. That experience changed how I think about storytelling and political imagination. If dystopian futures can move from fiction into lived experience, then imagination is not neutral. It shapes what people expect, accept, and resign themselves to. Project 2029 is a conscious decision to move in the opposite direction—to [...]
