Excessive CT Scanning

Doctors and other hospital employees are usually highly trained in their respective fields of specialty. However, sometimes they make negligent recommendations or commit careless mistakes that hurt patients. Undergoing too many CT scans is one such negligent error that could increase your risk of developing cancer over time. You should not have to face medical complications and expenses that were caused by someone else.

If you or someone you love suspects that an injury or illness is due to an excessive amount of CT scanning, you may be a victim of medical malpractice. Contact the Chicago medical malpractice attorneys of Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C., at 312-466-8200 to discuss your case and any concerns you have, at no cost to you.

Talking With Your Doctor

If a doctor recommends that you have additional CT scans, you should ask him or her questions such as:

• Are there any other options besides the CT scan?
• What are the risks of not having more CT scans?
• Could the results change your current treatment plan?

It is also recommended that you keep a log of all scans that you undergo for future reference.

If an excessive number of CT scans has caused you to develop a serious illness such as cancer, you may have grounds for legal action against the responsible physician. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help determine if you have a solid case.
