Common Types of Medical Negligence in Family Medicine

1. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

• Failing to detect serious conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, or infections in time. Misinterpreting symptoms as minor issues, leading to delayed treatment.
• Not referring the patient to a specialist when needed.

2. Prescription & Medication Errors

• Prescribing the wrong medication or incorrect dosage.
• Ignoring drug interactions or allergies, leading to severe side effects.
• Not monitoring long-term medication use, causing adverse health impacts.

3. Poor Chronic Disease Management

• Inadequate follow-up for conditions like asthma, heart disease, or thyroid disorders. Failing to adjust treatment plans based on changes in a patient’s condition.
• Not providing lifestyle and dietary recommendations to manage chronic illnesses.

4. Failure to Conduct Necessary Tests

• Ignoring symptoms that require blood tests, imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT scan), or biopsies.
• Not recommending preventive screenings (e.g., cholesterol checks, cancer screenings). Relying on outdated test results for treatment decisions.

5. Negligence in Pediatric & Elderly Care

• Misdiagnosing illnesses in children, leading to delayed treatment.
• Failing to address age-related conditions like osteoporosis, dementia, or high blood pressure in elderly patients.
• Poor vaccination management, leading to preventable infections.

6. Lack of Proper Patient Communication

• Not explaining the risks and side effects of treatments properly. Failing to obtain informed consent before medical procedures.
• Dismissing patient concerns, leading to loss of trust and mismanaged health conditions.
