If you find this article interesting you might consider the book "How Doctors Think". It's basically an entire book dedicated to the subject of misdiagnosis and how our modern medical system has some systematic flaws that contribute to it. If I think about just how often I'm incorrect in trying to diagnose an electronics or software problem, and how little time an average doctor spends on a problem, it's not surprising to me that anything that is remotely outside the norm could be easily misdiagnosed. For me the takeaway is to just accept that for common problems doctors can do a great job, but if you have a condition that is not making progress despite seeing a doctor be open to the fact their diagnosis could be incorrect. I had a minor problem with my ears a few months ago, went to a doctor, was given a diagnosis and treatment which temporarily improved the condition but did not seem to eliminate it. Went to another doctor a few weeks ago, given a different diagnosis and treatment. There you go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Doctors_Think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Doctors_Think
