In medical negligence cases, timing matters. A missed diagnosis early on can mean:
- symptoms progress before the correct testing is ordered,
- treatment decisions are based on incomplete information,
- and follow-up that should have happened gets delayed or falls through.
In real life, that’s often tied to the way care moves—urgent visits, referrals, lab result routing, and electronic documentation. In Alamo, many residents rely on prompt outpatient and urgent-care pathways before escalating to specialists. When those handoffs break down, the timeline can become the key evidence.
