Failure To Diagnose Sickle Cell & Medical Negligence

Sickle Cell disease affects the red blood cells. Whils they are usually round so that they can travel easily through the blood vessels. When a patient suffers from sickle cell disease, the red blood cells become misshapen and cannot travel freely through the vessels. If your medical team have failed to diagnose Sickle Cell Disease, you may be able to make a claim for medical negligence.
