Illnesses due to asbestos exposure are shocking. Asbestos solicitors regularly receive the most unsettling descriptions of suffering from their clients, whom they endeavour to treat with the utmost care and respect at all times. Effective communication between solicitor and client is all important, as is thorough checking of facts.
With this in mind, it is mystifying to read about terrible misdiagnosis of mesothelioma and cases of asbestosis related illness.
Misdiagnosis of mesothelioma and, for that matter any serious illness, can lead to devastating problems for the patient.
A case came to light recently of a mesothelioma misdiagnosis that had tragic consequences. After an incomprehensible set of miscommunications, misdiagnoses and inconclusive medical reports an asbestosis sufferer was led to believe that he had mesothelioma and the only option for him was to have lung removal surgery.
Unbeknownst to the patient, or his family, the removed lung was found to be free of the malignant cancer mesothelioma. However, the patient was left fearing for his health to the point that he was termed borderline psychotic by a medical specialist that treated him towards the end of his life.
He feared he would die if he were to go to sleep and was convinced that the cancer was perniciously working its way through his body.
Although the patient did suffer from lung disease as a direct result of exposure to asbestos during his working life, he did not develop mesothelioma. His case is a tragic reminder that correct diagnoses, effective communication and medical expertise are not always concordant.
An asbestos solicitor will need all facts in front of him before he makes an effective case and this is apparently not what happened medically for the patient described above.
