Failure to diagnose: A form of medical
malpractice committed on behalf of a medical doctor. Florida failure to diagnose
has the potential to cause serious damage and even death to patients who do not
receive prompt and adequate medical care as needed because of medical
malpractice.
Fen-Phen: Short for fenfluramine
phentermine, a drug combination used for weight loss purposes. Fen-Phen has been
linked to heart valve disease in numerous cases, prompting the FDA to request
that manufacturers recall the drug.
Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in
damage to another, whether to his or her person, rights, property or reputation.
Fraud usually consists of a misrepresentation, concealment or non-disclosure of
a material fact. Can also be misleading conduct, devices or contrivance.
