  • Title: Failure to diagnose: melanoma.
    Author: Bird S.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 2004 Sep; 33(9):741-2. PubMed ID: 15487370.
    Abstract:
    Case histories are based on actual medical negligence claims, however, certain facts have been omitted or changed by the author to ensure the anonymity of the parties involved. Medical negligence claims alleging 'failure to diagnose' are a common cause of claims and complaints against general practitioners. This article outlines some risk management strategies designed to minimise the possibility of an adverse event arising from failure to diagnose melanoma.
