    Overview

    It's a sobering reality. Patients frequently discover that their medical issue was misdiagnosed. You might know someone who has gone through it. Perhaps it was you. In other cases, the mistake is not significant and has no long-term consequences. In other circumstances, the consequence is either life-threatening or fatal.

    Despite developments in contemporary medicine, the rate of misdiagnoses has not decreased in recent decades.
