You have to be in the position of being your own medical advocate.

I had a condition that was misdiagnosed repeatedly, including in the ER. My condition is not even "rare", just slightly uncommon, and I had a very textbook case of it.

Your doctor is not an oracle. They are a car mechanic that works on organics.

Not to mention that it’s hardly extraordinary for two doctors to have two different opinions on the same case.

What does that mean? That there are two conflicting absolute truths?

There's only one truth.

That's the doctors that MSNBC interviews. Nothing else.

You're not allowed to be your own medical advocate now.

Don't get onboard - you'll lose your job. Even if you work from home.
