Local Law Firms Home > Medical Malpractice Overview > Doctor Errors Negligence > Clinical Lab Errors Whenever we go to the doctor’s office, hospital, or other medical facility, vital diagnostic tests are often run based on a patient’s medical history, requests, or symptoms and signs they may experiencing. These diagnostic tests are crucial when it comes to a physician determining what, if anything, may be wrong with the patient. Most of these lab tests are conducted in an offsite location, and then sent back to the physician when the results are ready. The results are then read and interpreted by the doctor, and in conjunction with what else the doctor may know about the patient—or in combination with other diagnostic tools, such as x-rays—the doctor can then make an assessment regarding the patient’s health. However, when a lab technician or clinic makes an error, the consequences can be disastrous.
