The Tragic Results From Undiagnosed Strokes and Heart Attacks
The onset of chest pains or headaches are often signs of more serious medical problems. Yet, when you visit a doctor's office or an emergency room, the discomfort may be written off as something minor. At Novak, Robenalt & Pavlik, L.L.P., our experience in the specific area of medical malpractice has taught us that these so-called minor afflictions are often a strong indication of serious, life-threatening problems.

Doctors who fail to appreciate their patient's symptoms must be held accountable. They fail to order or administer the proper tests. They do not recognize that back, arm and shoulder pain may be signs of serious heart problems. Headaches and dizziness may mean that a stroke is imminent. Yet, they treat it as a minor issue. The patient may have already suffered a stroke, yet the administration of certain medication within three hours has made a bad situation that much worse.
Simply put, the longer your doctor takes to diagnose a stroke or heart attack, the less chance you or a family member has of recovery.
