Can a hospital be responsible for a delayed stroke diagnosis?
Yes. While not every poor outcome is malpractice, avoidable delays may raise serious concerns, including:
- Failure to recognize stroke symptoms
- Delayed ER triage
- Failure to order timely CT or MRI imaging
- Delayed neurology consultation
- Failure to activate stroke protocols
- Failure to transfer a patient to a stroke-capable hospital
Each case requires careful review of medical records.
