Your skin cancer has been misdiagnosed. You are reeling both from the diagnosis and from the reality that your cancer may have been diagnosed at an earlier, easier to treat stage if your doctor had not committed cancer malpractice. Now what?
How You May Protect Yourself After a Skin Cancer Misdiagnosis
Our Atlanta medical malpractice attorneys understand that you are looking for concrete steps that you can take to regain control of your life. Accordingly, we recommend that you:
- Find a Qualified Medical Specialist. You’ve suffered from a doctor’s failure to exercise reasonable care and it can be difficult to trust another doctor, but it is important that you do so. Ask around, check qualifications, and find a doctor who specializes in your type of cancer to provide you with the advice and treatment that you deserve.
- Surround Yourself with Support. Support may be defined differently for each patient. Many find support in their family and friends. Others benefit from formal support groups and/or religious organizations.
- Consult with a Cancer Malpractice Attorney. A lawyer can help protect your legal and financial rights while you concentrate on your physical and emotional recovery.
