The title is clickbatie.
The first doctor did consider POEMs but ruled it out. He did however tell them to see another neurologist as he didn't know what else to do and tried everything he could.
- newqer 8y agoI wish I read the comments before the story :)
- jamisteven 8y ago"ruled it out", meaning he wasnt being treated for POEMS and was thus being treated for the wrong disease. Title is accurate, not clickbait.
- adrianN 8y agoA title can be accurate and still clickbait.
- jamisteven 8y agoHow is the title clickbait?!
- bambax 8y agoThis is the correct comment. The story is simply about a complex disease being hard to pin down. In fact everything worked as intended: when not sure, every doctor suggested the patient look for another opinion, which eventually lead to the correct diagnosis. It's also not very well written / articulated. It's in the style of Atul Gawande, but doesn't compare well.
