Misdiagnosis in the US and the lack of proper testing, inaccurate medical histories, and errors made when interpreting test results, are some of the most common reasons a misdiagnosis occurs. Three symptoms that tend to be the most frequently misdiagnosed are coughs, abdominal pains, and shortness of breath. When factoring in all of the reasons a misdiagnosis occurs, it can definitely be in a patient’s best interest to obtain a second opinion for a major illness diagnosis. While things are sometimes missed, I think the more we educate ourselves, or when we ask more questions, are times when we can empower ourselves to take charge of our healthcare needs. ~Tom

It is very scary. We almost lost our oldest son due to Doctors not knowing what was wrong with him. I took him back to the clinic twice in one week telling them of his symptoms. By the end of the week I took him to the ER and he ended up in ICU with a blood sugar reading off the charts. He was diagnosed finally with type one diabetes.
So sorry to hear that happened. I am glad you finally found out what is wrong though. ~Tom
