If a patient is complaining of a combination of symptoms that includes chest pain, nausea, and shortness of breath, the doctor should take immediate action to stop a heart attack. These are telltale symptoms of a heart attack in progress, and any doctor should be able to recognize it and take the necessary steps to get it under control.
If the doctor fails to interpret the symptoms correctly, the results can be catastrophic. At a minimum, the patient can be left with severe damage to his or her heart. The more likely possibility, however, is the death of the patient. If you have suffered or a loved one has died because of a negligent doctor’s misdiagnosis of a heart attack, you should discuss your case with a qualified Georgia medical malpractice attorney immediately.
