Citizens’ sharing about doctor’s opinions
The right to seek for the most accurate diagnosis
Many people are used to visiting only one doctor for health care. However, when it comes to serious illness, it needs more doctor’s opinions to have the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Most patients don’t have enough medical knowledge and understanding of the illness they are having. So they rely on the doctor for all responsibilities for their health. A common stereotype is that doctors are the experts in health care, so they are always correct. That’s why many people do not question their doctor’s diagnosis and indication.

Mistakes and Misdiagnosis in Medical Industry
Mistakes and misdiagnosis in medical industry are very likely to happen and this can happen to anyone.
Where does it come from?
Aside from the medical equipment, the mistakes and misdiagnosis usually comes from the human’s errors. Doctors are human too. So they also do make mistakes. Especially, there is no one to cross-check their diagnosis. Other reasons can be lack of experiences, overcrowded patient visits per day, lack of infection control steps.
Patient’s fault?
For example, the patients are shy of their illness and hide it from the doctors. This causes misdiagnosis of doctors to occur.
Another reason can be the patients put all of their trust in the doctor. So they listen to everything the doctor said without doubting. This causes the risks of misdiagnosis to increase and affecting directly to our lives.
The big question is whether to believe in one doctor and follow the treatment plan right away or seeking for more doctor’s opinions for a double-check and reviews from many points of view. What will be the best for you?
