I know from practicing medicine/surgery for 18 years that the diagnosis is always easier retrospectively, but I also know if someone comes back with the same problem that doesn't get better or worsens, you have to broaden the scope of your investigation and sometimes even get another set of eyes involved.
There is nothing wrong with missing a diagnosis the first time around. Even the second. We all do it. But Darth's story, the way he tells it, doesn't make sense.

So you had a rare random unknown birth defect that went unknown and undetected for 40+ years and you want to sue a gen prac for not immediately diagnosing that?
Good luck.
Sometimes you post things that make me honestly wonder if you're really this dumb or you just enjoy being obtuse.
It was easy to see I had congestive heart failure. The symptoms were clear as can be. Any first year resident or even nursing school student should have been able to see it. The second step was finding out why I had CHF. This also was simple. All they had to do was a procedure called arterogram. That's where they go in an artery in your leg with a probe and go up to your heart to look around. This simple, everyday procedure is what identifies the valve problem and the artery issues as well.

No shot in hell.
1) 3 doctors misdiagnosed---hurts your case...supports that the diagnosis wasn't automatic.
2) having a unknown weird heart condition (cleft mitral valve) supports reason for possible misdiagnosis
3) your history of heart problems as a kid should have prompted you to seek the opinion of a cardiologist immediately.
Doctor's attorney's will tear your claims apart in court.

I've had multiple docotors and even nurses tell me that any medical professional should be able to tell within minutes I had congestive heart failure. It was that obvious.

Illegal? You do know the difference between civil liability and criminal liability don't you?

Even if you get past the medmal panel (you likely won't), the healthcare provider's lawyer will mud check you on these facts.
Think isn't legal advice because lawyers get paid to render that.

Darth, I have a malpractice situation going myself. Talk about complicated stuff.
I have THE guy if you need to speak w someone. Class act, distinguished, extremely respected.
It's all he does.
Talk about a system completely rigged to protect doctors than can end or ruin your life!

Whether you like it or not...that will hurt your case.
Your condition hurts your case.
The knowledge of your heart problems as a child and not seeking a cardiologist will hurt your case.
I'm not saying that your doctors didn't screw up big....just that you have a huge uphill battle to prove malpractice.

Yep, it's ridiculous
Panel and then the cap

If possible I'd like to talk to either your wife or her dad if they practice law in Alabama. You can reach me at at my yahoo email. It's tigervader1.
Thanks!

Wtf? Everyone "loses" the panel, that doesn't stop you from filing suit, it's just another factor for the jury or judge to consider when it gets to trial, if it gets that far. You can't"lose" the panel and your case be done, literally 90% (or so) cases lose the med mal panel, half the time they are stacked with the treating docs friends

Meh, I'm not up on the details yet, but if they were ER docs or basically not docs that saw the patient regularly that probably doesn't matter

There were three docotors. One was my "primary care" docotor that I'd been going to for years. Another was his partner who I had to see when he was off work. She is his wife I think. The third doctor is the ER doctor who was on duty for both my trips to the ER.

Getting a doctor to testify against another doctor...about as likely as a cop testifying against another.
This is not true at all. There are tons of doctors out there who make their living testifying against other doctors for plaintiffs.
