Medical malpractice is usually caused by incorrect diagnosis. It happens millions of times each year and can have devastating results, such as the need for unnecessary surgery, long hospital stays, or unnecessarily invasive treatment. In some instances, a misdiagnosis may even cause death.

The expert must also demonstrate that the doctor failed to properly add the condition to his or her list of differential diagnosis using methods such as asking additional questions, making further observations or requesting further tests as part of the diagnostic procedure.
