A medical perspective
Understanding the treatment a condition called for.
Dr. Zaheer Shah has worked with patients in hospitals and emergency rooms. His medical experience helps him understand the decisions involved in evaluating a condition, providing treatment, and monitoring a patient.
When reviewing a failure to treat concern, we look at the care the patient received and the response the circumstances required. The goal is to understand whether a failure in care contributed to the harm.
Treatment concerns
Where a failure in care may occur.
-
Testing
Questions may arise about whether necessary tests were ordered, performed, or acted on.
-
Specialist care
The review may consider whether a referral was needed and how the need for additional care was addressed.
-
Timely treatment
A concern may involve a delay in starting treatment or a failure to provide treatment at all.
-
Monitoring
The medical record can help show whether changes in the patient’s condition were recognized and addressed.
These concerns can involve conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, brain aneurysms, compartment syndrome, and other illnesses or injuries. The appropriate response depends on the individual circumstances.
Evaluating a claim
Showing how the failure affected the outcome.
A malpractice claim must connect a departure from the applicable standard of care with an injury. It is not enough to show that the patient’s condition worsened.
The treatment timeline, medical findings, and subsequent care help explain whether an omission or delay caused additional harm. Dr. Shah uses his medical background to help assess those questions.
