It was already a mess back in 1994 when I had appendicitis. Told the first two doctors that's what I thought it was, but of course what did I know. Four weeks and 3 doctors later and one of them finally agreed with me. Likely the only reason I didn't die from their mistreatment is that I'm very healthy.
I nearly died from appendicitis as well but it was because I waited a couple weeks until my appendix burst into pieces before I went in to the hospital. The doctor said it was probably the size of a grapefruit before it had burst. I thought that I had food poisoning and would get better on my own. The doctors in the end screwed up my credit score by not sending me all of the bill and sending some of it to a collection agency.
Good luck being diagnosed properly the first time. It's pretty rare for anything not blatantly obvious.
Yep, and those with money to get 3 separate "opinions" found out they would get 3 separate diagnosis. The docs are literally just guessing.
