Why Some Doctors Purposely Misdiagnose Patients
The medical industry has the biggest conflict of interest I have seen in any industry. It's actually bad for doctors if preventive healthcare takes off the way it should, we all eat healthy, balanced diets and exercise to take care of our bodies and mind.<p>That coupled with genetic diversity, ignorance of their customers and relative ignorance of the practitioners itself (we still don't know more than we know) could truly be a recipe for disaster.<p>My celiac was misdiagnosed for pharyngitis for long, and since I've stopped taking any doctor very seriously. I read A LOT, visit a bunch of doctors (preferably leading to specialists) and ask a lot of questions before deciding what course of action I want to take.<p>Luckily, in India, doctors don't charge as much (~$20-40) per session.
