Abstract: | In its early stages appendicitis often manifests itself by uncharacteristic symptoms, which may result in delayed diagnosis and treatment. A greater number of physicians are reported to the Health Services Disciplinary Board (HSDB) for missed appendicitis today than formerly, and disciplinary measures are more severe. This is shown by a unique breakdown of reported cases for three periods between 1945 and 1997. |
