Discussion for article #230143
I was misdiagnosed for almost 30 years, causing damage to my body in those years. I chalk it up to having some fairly exotic illnesses brought on by a documented exposure to toxins while serving in the USMC that was covered up until recently. Still, the medical community is trained to “look for horses, not zebras when they hear hoofbeats”. The short amount of time doctors are allowed to spend with each patient assures that anything that differs from the typical will be missed.
What’s the difference? Everyone does that now. It’s VERY rare for anyone to stand up for an error unless the court says they must. And usually they put it off until they mount a repeal. That’s what this country’s coming to; C’est triste, n’est pas.
