Medical malpractice is often caused by misdiagnosis. It happens millions of times each year and can have devastating consequences, like the need for surgery that is not needed, long hospital stays, and excessively aggressive treatment. In some cases an error in diagnosis could result in death.

The expert must also demonstrate that the doctor failed to properly add the condition to the list of differential diagnoses by using methods like asking further questions, making additional observations or requesting additional tests as part of the diagnostic procedure.
