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.

Executive Order – Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office (Speculative)

SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the identification, disclosure, and recovery of profits derived from the misuse of public office for personal enrichment. The Order affirms that federal officials have always held office as fiduciaries of the public, and that personal profits obtained through licensing, branding, naming rights, or similar arrangements tied to official authority were never lawful. The Order instructs federal agencies to enforce existing ethics, forfeiture, and unjust enrichment laws to recover improperly obtained funds for the public treasury. It clarifies ethical obligations long recognized in law and tradition, and restores the principle that public office [...]

Queens Is the New Brooklyn

Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, and Long Island City—not because there’s a single “scene,” but because artists here are still allowed to work without being pushed into a look, a market, or a lane. Queens hasn’t flattened itself into a style. It doesn’t need to. That range showed up clearly at the Queens Says [...]

Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement

Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, it has become one of the ways we are materially supporting the next march. This matters, because movements don’t run on inspiration alone. They require permits, printing, transportation, materials, accessibility accommodations, food for volunteers, sound systems, legal support, and contingency planning. None of that is glamorous, but all of [...]

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 [...]

Executive Order – Jan 6 (Speculative)

SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Preservation and Public Access to the Historical Record of the January 6 Attack on American Democracy Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the preservation, organization, and lawful public accessibility of the historical and judicial record related to the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. The Order affirms that while presidential pardons resolve criminal liability, they do not erase historical facts, judicial findings, or the public record. The initiative is designed to safeguard democratic memory, ensure transparency, and support civic education—without imposing punishment, stigma, or retaliation against any individual. PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 20, 2029 President Signs Executive Order to Preserve January 6 Historical [...]
