would someone be able to give me some direction!? I'm looking for ethical issues that arise from the misdiagnoses of breast cancer. If you are having trouble being specific, would you be able to give me some ethical issues of misdiagnoses in general and I can just make the reference from there? Thanks so much for your help! I guess you are unaware of the many deaths that was resulted in Newfoundland, Canada from the misdianosis of breast cancer. This most definitely causes ethical issues to arise! I'm not sure if you are aware of the "Cameron Report". approximately 108 patients are now deceased because of this misdiagnoses. i surely believe there are ethical issues.

What does a misdiagnosis have to do with ethics? It isn’t done purposely. No I am not familiar with the "Cameron Report". You are asking your question in the section for the United States. Either way, unless you are saying this was done purposely or there was a conspiracy after the fact this is not an ethical issue. It is a malpractice issue.

Where it is the result of a simple error this is not an ethical problem, unless there was some underlying systemic cause for the error to be made (eg cost cutting measures). In this case the specifics of the underlying cause give rise to the ethical issues, not the error. Add: Just had a quick look at a couple of articles around this, from my reading the ethics arise out of the lack of funding leading to short staff, leading to errors . There are also ethical questions arising from any delays in reporting the errors once they were found, particularly when this affects the treatment given
