Anyone ever seen that show on TV called Medical Mysteries?
Regardless of which case they are highlighting, there is a common underlying theme in all of them. That is, multiple doctors did not listen. Multiple doctors jumped to conclusions. Multiple doctors did not dig deep enough to find clues.
Luckily in the end all of the cases had happy endings. That's because at the end of each patient's 10 or 20 or 30 year hell, some new doctor (usually the 10th or 20th by now) decided to take a closer look and found something all the others missed out of negligence...not listening, not looking, assumptions based on thin air.
