Medical Malpractice Involving Failure to Refer to a Specialist
Doctors are gatekeepers. If they identify a potential medical condition that they cannot treat, they must refer you or your loved one to a specialist. When they fail to refer, they are putting lives in jeopardy.
Stop Unsafe Medical Practices
Dirty Little Secret of Healthcare: Some doctors will avoid referring you to a specialist because they would lose money. They are paid for the services they offer you, not for a referral.
If a doctor has failed to refer you, or someone you know, to a specialist that could have prevented medical problems or even death, do not allow these unsafe medical practices to go on. Call or e-mail our experienced medical malpractice team to protect you, your family and your neighbors from these doctors.
Doctor's Negligence in Failure to Refer
We have seen many cases like this: a man has the signs and symptoms of cancer. He needs a blood test. Then, he needs to see someone who specializes in his type of cancer. The sooner that the medical system treats his potential medical condition, the better the outcome. Yet, his doctor does not order the blood test and fails to refer him to a specialist.
Whether the doctor has misdiagnosed cancer or failed to diagnose the symptoms, he should have known that he was unqualified to make the final determination.
