Misdiagnosis of Appendicitis
The appendix is a vestigial organ of the body that probably allowed ancient humans to digest foliage, such as leaves. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix is inflamed and becomes swollen.
The symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. When these symptoms occur, medical personnel can detect the presence of appendicitis with several tests, including a general examination, a CT scan, and an ultrasound.
Usually, the proper treatment is for the doctor to conduct an appendectomy, the surgical removal of the appendix. However, if the appendix isn't removed in a timely manner, then it can rupture! This can initially lessen the pain, but can lead to peritonitis (an infection inside the abdomen), sepsis, and even death.
When doctors and other medical professionals learn of the symptoms, sometimes they think that the patient has the flu or indigestion. If this occurs, then it is more likely that the appendix will rupture. When they commit medical malpractice in the manner, then they can be legally liable any subsequent harm!
