The thing ...thanks, trisha, for sharing your story. The thing is, at least according to the reports, John is not suing because of trauma or the mis-diagnosis itself. He is suing to cover expenses because he spent his money. <BR/>It would make more sense to sue over the trauma involved....Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-15214182800755278362007-05-10T16:12:00.000+03:002007-05-10T16:12:00.000+03:00Rafi,I was also diagnosed with a deadly cancer in ...Rafi,<BR/><BR/>I was also diagnosed with a deadly cancer in the summer of 2004, told I would be dead within six months, and figured out on my own that I had no cancer at all. I have a different perspective on John's experience -- you can read about it on my blog at: http://epablog.wordpress.comTrisha Torreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365378981707270398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-64289224145895284602007-05-09T16:01:00.000+03:002007-05-09T16:01:00.000+03:00it does not say it in the article I linked to but ...it does not say it in the article I linked to but in the newspaper article I read the doctors still claim the diagnosis was correct based on the symptoms and tests and information available at the time. Obviously they were wrong unless it was one of those medical miracles and this guy prayed really hard.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you. I was really being a bit facetious in my post. I think he probably has a very good case (if the details in the articles are correct)Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-81588010951105914512007-05-09T15:52:00.000+03:002007-05-09T15:52:00.000+03:00Rafi,I completely disagree.1st, a cancer diagnosis...Rafi,<BR/><BR/>I completely disagree.<BR/><BR/>1st, a cancer diagnosis is not a drive through hamburger, you don't pull up, get your diagnosis and pull away. It is a long and difficult road with much time and energy and tests. Therefore, the doctors have many many opportunities to correct their mistaken diagnosis. They did not diagnose him correctly but he had a miracle and outlived expectations, they made a mistake and did not correct their mistake in a reasonable time frame.<BR/><BR/>2nd, given that he was responding to an error that was never corrected, recieving a death sentance diagnosis brings on a host of other issues, emotional, psychological...<BR/><BR/>so here you have a guy that went though doctors and treatments and was given a death sentance and perhaps suffered some psych/emotional trauma. If they did not correct their mistake ina timely fashion they have an obligation to make it correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
