 Lawyer's Story
My name is Ron Brown,
I’m a founder and senior partner at the law firm
of Brown and Crouppen. I supervise much of the work
we do in medical malpractice law. One of my
particular interests is the area of failure to
timely and accurately diagnose heart attacks. Over
the years I’ve seen first hand the impact that
these tragedies have on families. I’ve seen the
looks on their faces when their suspicions were
confirmed and they knew for certain that their loved
one didn’t have to die.
Failure to properly
diagnose and treat heart attacks (medically known as
Acute Myocardial Infarction) is today one of the
most common forms of medical malpractice. As time
passes because of a doctor or hospital’s failure
to timely diagnose, more and more heart muscle dies.
The lucky patients are left physically impaired for
life, the less fortunate die. The key to successful
treatment of a heart attack is a quick diagnosis and
then proper treatment. Statistics show that a delay
in accurate diagnosis means a person is twice as
likely to die from a heart attack.
The following are a
list of symptoms that should lead a competent doctor
to consider the possibility of a heart attack: jaw
pain, neck pain, abdominal pain, back pain, arm
pain, heart palpitations, excessive anxiety, sense
of impending doom, nausea, chest pain, chest pain
that radiates down the arm, loss of balance,
excessive sweating. Any of these complaints should
warrant further investigation. When presented with
any of the above a doctor may be considered
negligent if they fail to further investigate
patient’s risk factors. Risk factors may include
age, physical condition, etc. A doctor who fails to
consider location, duration and exact nature of pain
may be guilty of malpractice. In addition failure to
find and compare previous electrocardiograms (EKG)
may constitute malpractice. These are just a few of
the things that should raise a red flag and lead to
the possibility of further investigation into
whether medical treatment was proper.

 Donald and I were
never the kind of people to run to lawyers when we
had a problem. That’s why I waited before I
contacted Brown and Crouppen about a possible
medical malpractice case. None of the doctors ever
came forward and discussed why the tests were
misread, as a matter of fact no one would even admit
it had happened. I learned that when doctors and
hospitals mess up they cover up, at least that’s
what happened when I tried to get answers to my
questions.

 Unfortunately, this
is true. There are definite time limits in taking
care of your case. These time limits are called
statutes of limitations and if you wait past this
time set out in the statute your case is over,
forever, regardless if you have gotten any money or
not. Don’t let this happen to you, if you have a
medical malpractice case don’t wait until it’s
too late, call Brown and Crouppen now.
