Malpractice payouts by physicians and their insurers were a mere $4.5 billion in 2001 – less than 1% of the country’s overall health care costs of $1.4 trillion.
According to a recent study reported by Forbes, doctors misdiagnose 12% of cancer cases, missing the fact that cancer exists during early diagnosis. Medical malpractice through failed diagnosis occurs frequently with breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer. Because colon cancer has no apparent symptoms, physicians frequently do not detect it until later stages, which is why so many patients die from colon cancer.
