Live in a country with excellent heath care, unfortunately we don't always get that. I think a lot have to do with primary care doctors not having enough time to really check their patients. Because health care companies and insurance have them scrambling to treat as many as possible just to cover their bills.
Recently, I had chest pains. I went to a walk in doctors office on my way home from work, A immediate care kind of place. they did a EKG and said while it abnormal.. I was o.k... fine. I went about my business.
Long story short.. 5 days later , I was in the hospital and they had my chest wide open and they were totally rebuilding my heart, valves, arteries.. Afterwards the surgeon told me that I could have died at any moment before the surgery.
So much for .." you're O.K."
Oh my God !!! That is terrible! Glad you're ok!
It's sad hearing about neglect from Drs. Like that.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I am sure there are more out there with unpleasant things happening to them as well.
