TikToker issues warning after discovering she had cancer after doctors told her it was just an infection from tonsillitis
2023-08-05
Happened to me.
Could happen to you.
Yes, but where did this happen? Is she a victim of British National Health Service incompetence, Canadian health service incompetence, American medical incompetence, or somewhere else where English is the native tongue?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Chloe Reid was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's Lymphoma in May

  • Her doctor had told her it was a lingering infection from tonsillitis

  • She has shared her cancer journey and symptoms on TikTok

#5  But when you are forced to a use an assigned doctor by the Government.

PPO, HMO, 'in network'...
My misdiagnosing, pedophile PCP referred me to a ENT tumor trophy hunting butcher for lab sample collection who then referred me to an alcoholic oncologist that botched a bone marrow collection [DTs] and 'called around' for time in a pet scanner, and a surgeon to put in a subclavian port. The oncologist 'announced' the selected treatment regimen before the definitive lab report was released.

AMA, two weeks later I was enrolled in the integrated treatment center at MD Anderson and under treatment.

#4  It's called "Practicing Medicine" for a reason.

Some bat a 1000, and some bat 300.

But when you are forced to a use an assigned doctor by the Government. Where do you think those batting 900 to 1000 doctors are assigned and what social/wealth class do they treat?

#3  Well, her's appears to be attributable to NHS.
Mine, also 'tonsillitis' was in Dallas, TX.
AMA, I went to Houston and was cured.

#2  Doctors can bury their mistakes.

An architect can only advise the customer to plant vines.

#1  As the Lawyer said...
1. Only the client goes to jail.
2. Get paid up front.

Same goes for doctors.
