Medical misdiagnosis can be the result of an error in reading test results, such as a mammogram, CT scan, or x-ray. It can also be the result of failure to perform the proper testing, or a doctor failing to properly diagnose cancer, a stroke, or another serious condition, delaying treatment and furthering injury.
