Joe’s Story
Joe, who cannot be named for legal reasons, lost his sight after his GP failed to diagnose his Giant Cell Arteritis. His lawyers said the symptoms were classic and the GPs should have referred him for investigation.
The GPs denied liability but settled the claim out of court. Joe said he is delighted with the settlement and hopes his story serves as a warning. He added, “If I had been diagnosed sooner, I might not have lost my sight.”
What we can learn from Joe’s case
- Seek medical attention promptly. If you are concerned about your health, please do not hesitate to see your GP.
- Be assertive with your doctor. If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms, don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
- Keep track of your symptoms. Write down when you first started experiencing symptoms, how often they occur, and how severe they are. This information can be helpful to your doctor when they are trying to diagnose your condition.
- Ask questions. If you don’t understand something your doctor tells you, ask them to explain it in a way that you can understand.
- Don’t be afraid to get a second opinion. If you’re not satisfied with your doctor’s diagnosis, or if you’re not sure if you’re getting the treatment you need, get a second opinion from another doctor.
