A lady I knew in her early sixties was told she had eaten a bad burger and that her pain would pass. Sent home twice on consecutive days. No tests were ever done. She was the wife of a prominent businessman, so money wasn’t an issue and she had no history of health issues. In actuality she had a bowel obstruction and eventual ruptured bowel. She was dead within three days. And she died an unnecessarily excruciating death.
A friends 9 year old kid had 2 seizures in the past couple weeks. Cat scan is fine. My wife looked up the drug warning for the ADD medicine his parents feed him. There is a seizure warning and a heart attack warning of some sort which mentions arm pain. The symptoms are exactly like the kid had!
Doctor tells them, there is no way its the medicine, its just a common seizure that kids sometimes get and grow out of. I don’t think the doctor even bothered to look at the medicine warnings and side effects. They plan to keep giving him this poison ‘medicine’ because they are absolutely sure it has nothing to do with the seizures and it helps him focus on his homework.

This is happening all the time, I am hearing of poor care and diagnosis. Poor examinations, practitioners staring at the computer. I hope these people sue the hell out of the hospital
I wish there was a private medical hospital system in this country.
The same thing happened to a sixth grade student here a few years ago. Hospital sent him home, family brought him back but it was to late. The ruptured bowel poisoned him.
Horrible.
