I once had a friend of mine who is a nurse tell me that if doctors would LISTEN to their patients more- and exactly what the symptoms were that these patients were telling them- that the patient would basically diagnose him/herself- not literally, but you know what I'm saying. And how many of us have been told that, "there's nothing wrong with you or your *________" (*fill in the blank). Other than the years long fight to find out why my arms were so weak, my left hand was clumsy,etc. my worst issue that I had to fight drs. over was my gallbladder- they kept telling me that their tests told them that there was NOTHING wrong with it.....After I went to one surgeon's office in so much pain I was begging him to take it out, he reluctantly agreed to remove it and what do you know- it was diseased....
