An intestinal obstruction occurs when the small or large intestine becomes partly or completely blocked. This can prevent food, fluids, and gas from moving through your digestive tract and can result in severe complications without prompt treatment. These complications may include bowel perforation, tissue death because of lost blood supply, infection, sepsis, and sometimes death.
If you or someone you love experiences complications because of a diagnostic failure, Gill Ports Hoste LLC is here and ready to help you. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Chicago have spent decades fighting for victims of medical negligence and obtaining substantial compensation for those who have been harmed, including $30 million in a recent malpractice claim.

How does intestinal obstruction misdiagnosis occur?
Doctors may misdiagnose an intestinal obstruction as a result of:
- Failure to obtain your full medical history
- Not performing a complete physical exam
- Not ordering the right testing, such as abdominal X-rays or CT scans
- Missing evidence of an obstruction in imaging results
- Mistaking the obstruction for other health issues such as gastroenteritis, constipation, or irritable bowel syndrome
- Not recognizing a partial obstruction, which is often an issue due to intermittent symptoms
- Failure to monitor for worsening symptoms
- Not providing a timely surgical consultation
When a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis happens, and your condition worsens, you should be entitled to compensation for the losses caused by the provider’s failures. Doctors and their employers may all potentially be held liable for your losses. Get in contact with an experienced Chicago misdiagnosis lawyer at Gill Ports Hoste LLC to seek fair compensation.
