Re: Physicians/Medical Institutions Responsibility to Inform Patient of Test Res
That depends upon what has occurred as a result of the mistake in diagnosis. If significant injury has occurred as a result of the error, a claim may exist. It is also important to know the law of the jurisdiction (state) where the care was given. Malpractice law varies greatly from state to state. If you feel you have sufferred needless injury you should consult an attorney in your locale.
