Being your own advocate should start long before ever contacting an attorney regarding a medical malpractice claim. When it comes to your health, you must be proactive, especially when you are awaiting test results. Even if your doctor does not contact you with results of a pap smear, no news is not always good news.
Historically, women have relied on the results of a pap smear. Tests are not always done properly, leading to misdiagnoses. Physicians and their staff are not always diligent in providing results, delaying cancer diagnoses.
