Well, time for my rant. The doctors here are completely USELESS. No offense meant to anyone. But, I have had three family friends so far, and each was diagnosed with Cancer. Two of them went back to India for check up and they find out they never had cancer. With my third friend the doctor did his surgery, and post surgery he finds out it was not cancer, but the doctor diagnosed it wrong, and it was only tumor. I threatened to go beat up the doctor! I was pissed off as hell. I mean he is young right now, and as his friend I remember it was so difficult for me and my friends, then it must be ten times worse for his family knowing their son has cancer. With a fourth family friend the lady went for regular check up, and her tests were all normal. Suddenly she started feeling sick, and she runs to India to learn she was in her last stage of cancer. She passed away a few years back. What do I think of the doctors here? Completely USELESS! Never ever ever trust them. But, then don't be an idiot like me and refuse check up entirely. I say you go see another doctor. If they both have the same thing to say, then it should be right.
P.S - I'm not trying to suggest anything here, and mainly sharing my experience here.
Wow, I've heard of some pretty bad cases, but that is pretty extreme. You'd think that 6+ years in school would have taught them something, but when you misdiagnose something as big as cancer, you really gotta wonder. š The sad part is, you can't really sue doctors, mainly because the health board protects them, and mainly because most of them require you to sign a legal document, prior to an operation, that states that in case something goes amiss, they will not be held liable. But did your friends do anything about the wrong diagnosis? I mean, I can only imagine the emotional trauma they must have gone through, thinking that they had cancer, when infact, they didn't.
Either way, my doctor is not the main problem here, it's my incompetant lawyer. I'm trying to get Kanika to fly over here from India and handle my case. š
