little hard to read with all of the "refinance now!" ads implanted in it
Rule #1 when getting a fatal diagnosis...get a second opinion.
Rule #2...Get a second opinion.
Rule #3...etc, etc, etc.

I bet it was one heck of a party
Maybe they can give him cancer and he would have nothing to complain about.
That's funny! Cynical as hades, but funny!
I heard it on the news this morning...utterly incredible. The dips...err you know what needs to get his priorities into order, and be thankful that he's got his life back.
A;'s right, but I'd extend it to a lot of diagnoses. One quack wanted to double my Dad's BP medication. I suggested a second opinion, and the new doctor advised that his kidneys would have been shot fairly quickly with the double dose...new woman doctor prescribed less stress and more walking with the standard dose.
As to cancer, I've seen a couple kids a while ago were treated for leukemia when they had a systemic fungal infection...scary stuff.

After watching House I'm never going to a doctor again
Tell me about it!
Me thinks the doc's insurance should kick a few bucks at the dude who ain't really dying.
Messing with a guy's fututre that way.... doing things he would not otherwise would have done.... well,
maybe the medicos will require a second opinion next time.
Docs do bury their mistakes.
Here in the USA, the AMA polices itself and does a very poor job of it.
Utter incompetency allowed to carry on for years and decades with no removal of the medical license.
One study indicted that 5-percent of doctors committed the majority of serious to fatal errors. The same bunch, over and over.
Sheep bleat about the incompetent teachers that are so hard to remove. But, the brainwashing of placing medicos on pedestals allows the bad docs to continue on.
It's surprising how few docs try to keep up with the newest treatments and to shun treatments that have been proven ineffective or downright damgerous.
Wanna' know where the average doc gets the latest medical info? From drug salespeople. Think about it.
It's a jungle out there and there is collusion between docs, corporations, hospitals, etc. to keep the public uninformed and easy pickings.
When have you ever seen a menu of prices for various routines so you could shop for services? Dentists, hospital, doctors; they are a monopolistic industry that has set barriers that harm the consumer.

I first year medical student would have caught this. The amylase level is a big red flag, along with the acute pain. There just has to be more to this case then just an idiot for a Doctor, a lot more.
Oh, be nice to the doc. He has to make his Mercedes/Aston Martin/Jag payments somehow.
