- ngokevin 6mo agoI believe in modern medicine but I lost some faith in the American institutions around it when I "diagnosed" my partner with the correct disease that the first rheumatologist dismissed and told them to just stretch. It was officially diagnosed years later, and we lost a lot of time because of it.
- oofbey 6mo agoI’m so sorry. American medical institutions are a very long way from the best way to practice medicine.
- rrr_oh_man 6mo agoWhy is this being downvoted? And which institutions are best?
- gpm 6mo agoThat's not a takeaway here at all. It's 50% of the time ER doctors working solely from notes, something they never do, in a situation they know is only for a study, will miss what you have. In real clinical situations the doctors see, hear, smell, and interact with the patients.
