Have you, like me, ever been told by a doctor that you were dying, and then it turned out he was wrong?

Question

In my case, he took a week to tell me he was wrong. In the meantime, my parents were planning my funeral. Believe me when I say that receiving a death sentence isn't easy.

Answer 1

Good for you...I'm glad you are still here with us! We were told that my 2-year old nephew had a tumor and he had only a 1% chance it was benign. Turns out.....after a week of crying.....that it was benign! Thank God!

Answer 2

Boy! If that isn't a wake up call, nothing is. Thank God he was wrong. But to live knowing that you are about to die, I can't even imagine what that did to you and your family, I hope you followed through, by asking where did this come from. And whoever read the reports of your tests should have been fired. And I hope you changed doctors. Now just take one day at a time, and live and enjoy. Merry Christmas

Answer 3

When I was very, very young, a doctor told my parents I needed extensive surgery on my stomach for some reason, he was wrong.

At another point, a doctor told my parents I wa going to have permenent damage on my face. Wrong again.

Answer 4

The death sentence part was undoubtedly horrific, but isn't the
fact that you are alive and going to stay that way into the foreseeable future sweeter than sweet?

Answer 5

Yes, same thing happened, my doc looked at my labs gave me some meds, and when she walked out she said it sounded like MS....ms what right multiple sclersosis, and then she left the room, good thing for 2nd opinions, always important!!!

Answer 6

Answer 7
