When doctors or other medical professionals engage in treatment that violates the accepted "standard of care," and that treatment results in injury or harm, this constitutes medical malpractice. A doctor has a duty to you to use care and diligence to diagnose your illness or ailment so that the proper treatment can be prescribed.

In order to properly diagnose a condition or an injury, a doctor should ask about a patient's medical history. The doctor also should ask for a detailed description of current symptoms and should perform a thorough examination which includes necessary diagnostic tests. Doctors also have a duty to disclose information to you pertaining to the treatment you will receive.

If your condition is such that it is beyond the scope of practice of the examining doctor, or beyond the doctor's expertise, the physician should consider referring you to a specialist. If your doctor fails to follow these basic principles, and an injury or harm results, you may have a viable claim for medical malpractice.

Signing a physician's consent form does not mean you consent to substandard medical attention.
