Physician Malpractice

Laparoscopic / Surgical Error

Laparoscopic surgeries can mean smaller incisions, quicker recovery time and better outcomes. However, some procedures are best performed with a traditional "open" surgical technique.

The wrong procedure, an unnecessary procedure, or poor technical competence by the surgeon during the procedure can extend hospital stays and increase the risk of complications including the need for additional surgeries. Often the patient is unaware of the availability of choices and must accept the judgment and competence of the physician. The Lewis Law Firm, PC, can help determine if there was a laparoscopic/surgical error made by the physician in your case.

Improper Treatment
Not all diseases present with typical symptoms and even those that do can be misdiagnosed. Further, the choice of: medical management; testing and monitoring; or, a procedure, all come down to physician judgment.

Any error in a doctor’s judgment can result in the improper treatment of a patient and can lead to further complications, additional illness and potentially, death. The Lewis Law Firm, PC, can help determine if there was improper treatment in your case.

Late Diagnosis of Cancer
There have been numerous advances in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Unfortunately the timing of the diagnosis still has a dramatic impact on the potential that treatment will be successful and that a patient may survive a diagnosis of cancer.

As a general rule, the earlier a cancer diagnosis can be made, the better. While there are exceptions, the majority of cancers demonstrate a response to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Any delay in the diagnosis of cancer can rob a patient of treatment options and increase the potential for metastasis (spread) of cancer while shortening the lifespan of the patient. The Lewis Law Firm, PC, can help determine if there was a late diagnosis of cancer in your case.
