Ovarian Cancer
Women die from it, and now there is evidence that doctors do not do a very good job recognizing it. Read this Fox News article about it; it links to various sites for scientific information on the subject.
The author of a recent study says this: "Our findings suggest that ovarian cancer could be diagnosed earlier in some patients whose diagnosis currently is delayed by at least four months, because physicians order abdominal imaging or perform gastrointestinal procedures before they order a test that is more likely to diagnose ovarian cancer, such as pelvic imaging and/or CA125."
From a litigation standpoint the issue is causation: what difference would four months have made. Nevertheless, this information may help you or a member of your family get a quicker diagnosis of this life-threatening condition.
