Hi Cindy. For 2 months I have been telling her this, the bone pain with neuropathy. I have intentionally leaving all my symptoms on my My Chart, leaving a digital paper trail. I even documented that she told me I do not have cancer, because if I do, it is documented what she said and refused to do a re-check of my BMP. I even told the ER on July 26, they ran all the blood work, said I was fine. Went back to ER on Aug.24 with same complaint, actually started weeping, they ran the blood work, said it all looked great, the only exception was my WBC were lower at 3.6. Sept.11 I went to my clinic for a BMP and my Anion Gap was 6. My Calcium was 10 which is very close to being over the range. I feel at this point I am just in a bad dream. SOMETHING is causing this & they are not concerned, you would think they would be concerned with a patient with bone pain, but, they are not. Just so you know, a new report came out recently and it is scary shocking: 7.4 million patients are misdiagnosed of the 130 million annual visits to ERs. The number translates to about 1 in 18 people receiving a wrong diagnosis. 2.6 million patients receive a harm that could have been prevented. Misdiagnosis of disease or other medical conditions leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities each year in the United States, according to a report published this week.

About 371,000 people die and 424,000 sustain permanent disabilities – such as brain damage, blindness, loss of limbs or organs or metastasized cancer – each year as a result.
Look at those numbers! This is just the USA alone!
With misdiagnosis that touched my Family memebers personally, and now with my current situation, it is very east to mistrust and second guess a doctor.
