Maryland Stroke Misdiagnosis Lawyer

       In transient ischemic attack (TIA), the victim typcially displays stroke like symptoms for anywhere from a few minutes to hours. TIA is often a harginger to full blown stroke unless some preventative action is taken.

Typically, TIA is treated by giving the patient antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy and, ultimately, a full diagnostic workup to get a handle on what happened and how to best fix the problem? Will the patient eventually get a full blown stroke? It is often impossible to know. But as many as one-third of people who have a TIA will have a (reoccurring) stroke within 5 years. But TIA is an even more powerful indicator of a stroke that that statistic suggests: half of he strokes follow a transient ischemic attack within just two days of a TIA.

A large number of medical malpractice cases arise because doctors miss the signs of TIA. Why? Because the symptoms disappear. And some doctors drop their guard.
