Our Team of Medical Malpractice Attorneys Urge Healthcare Providers to Address Patient Concerns — Attend This Free Webinar this afternoon

In the complex world of modern medicine, dismissing a patient’s concerns can have devastating consequences. As medical malpractice attorneys, we have seen firsthand how ignored symptoms, unheeded warnings from family members, and overlooked caregiver observations have led to severe patient harm—even wrongful death.

The legal system holds medical professionals accountable when they fail to provide proper care, but real change begins with prevention. That’s why we strongly encourage healthcare professionals, hospital administrators, patient advocates, and legal professionals to attend ECRI’s free webinar: “Risks of Dismissing Patient, Family, and Caregiver Concerns” on March 18, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Why This Webinar Matters

This webinar addresses a growing issue in healthcare: the failure to take patient concerns seriously. Studies show that medical gaslighting—where a patient’s symptoms are dismissed or minimized—disproportionately affects women, minorities, and individuals with complex medical conditions. When medical professionals overlook key warning signs, the results can be catastrophic.

Key discussion points include:

• The dangers of disregarding patient and family concerns and how this contributes to medical errors.
• Medical gaslighting and cognitive bias—why they occur and how to mitigate their impact.
• A total systems approach to patient safety and strategies to improve provider-patient relationships.

The webinar will also highlight insights from Dr. Marcus Schabacker, Susan Sheridan, and Shannon Davila, who bring extensive experience in patient safety, regulatory standards, and healthcare advocacy.

The Legal Consequences of Ignoring Patient Concerns

Our firm has represented victims of medical negligence who suffered preventable harm because doctors failed to listen. In many cases, these patients sought medical attention multiple times, only to be misdiagnosed or dismissed until their condition became life-threatening.

Common examples include:

• Missed diagnoses of life-threatening conditions such as cancer, sepsis, or strokes.
• Ignoring symptoms of maternal or fetal distress during labor and delivery, leading to birth injuries.
• Failure to act on family or caregiver concerns regarding changes in a patient’s condition.

When these failures occur, victims and their families have legal rights. Holding negligent providers accountable not only secures compensation for victims but also pushes for systemic improvements in patient safety.
