From the supplier: Plaintiffs' attorneys must be prepared to counter certain spurious defenses which defendants may employ in medical malpractice cases. Defendants in cancer cases may argue that a delayed diagnosis made no difference because the patient would have died anyway. This can be countered by showing that early diagnosis significantly improves survival chances. Surgeons who argue they did not recognize a structure due to an anatomical anomaly and inadvertently damaged that structure can be countered with the argument that good surgeons anticipate anomalies since no two patients are the same.
