Medical Misdiagnoses Common Yet Ignored

7/21/2014

Drug errors and wrong site surgeries get a lot of attention in the news. But wrong, missed or delayed diagnoses are more common affecting up to 20% of all medical cases according to an estimate published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Dr. David Newman-Toker, a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine neurologist, studies diagnostic errors. He says cancer biopsies are wrong between 2 and 5% of the time. Wrong diagnoses often include the wrong treatment leading to deaths that might have been prevented.
