Medical Malpractice

Musculoskeletal diseases are on the rise, perhaps due to poor lifestyle choices and a sedentary lifestyle. Rheumatology is the study of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system which in essence covers numerous organ systems. These experts are in high demand, and with only 4,000 practicing rheumatologists in the country for close to 50 million people who have issues such as connective tissue disease and rheumatoid arthritis, it is easy to see how these physicians are stretched thin, trying to provide stellar medical services to all that need it. When a rheumatologist makes a medical mistake, however, don’t just chalk it up to bad luck: almost all instances of bad luck or misfortune, whichever profession you look at, you will realize that there is a human element in all these cases.

Rheumatologists – What Exactly Do They Treat?

Rheumatologists essentially diagnose and treat disorders of the joints, bones and muscles. To date, there are over 100 disorders that have been discovered which affect these organs and tissues. Because of this, rheumatologists must be highly skilled to make an accurate diagnosis at the first trial as the patient’s life depends on it. More often than not, diseases of the musculoskeletal system are painful and limit a patient’s mobility as well as lower their quality of life. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can cause a patient to become bedridden, and it’s only due to timely diagnosis by the rheumatologist that the patient may be able to walk again and rejoin the world, becoming a productive member of society.

Here are some of the conditions that rheumatologists treat
