Naomi was told illness was 'in her head'. She was diagnosed with one of Australia's most common killers

Stick to your guns when being dismissed by your doctor, insist on seeing a specialist. There are too many lazy or arrogant doctors around especially when treating female patients. When you know something is wrong, stand your ground. It’s better to test for something that find out the hard way. Speaking from experience here. I have zero tolerance nor respect  for arrogance. 

I could rattle of a list of health issues concerning my family over the years including a child with a broken foot and the morons X-rayed the wrong foot. The teacher said he was being dramatic at school too, err, no he tripped over the cat going up steps into the garage. Fresh X-ray on the correct foot showed the fracture. But why aren’t the medical professionals taking a closer look at doctors misdiagnosing or outright dismissal of patients?

Classic old boys network is the problem, arrogance and not admitting when a mistake has been made, don’t ever expect an apology it just ain’t going to happen. There have been a few life threatening issues that have happened to my husband due to medical negligence and no apologies given. I personally am out of patience and tolerance with arrogant doctors. Thankfully there are more good doctors than lousy ones though. But sometimes a person can be just unlucky with the doctor they get or hospital treatment. 

Remember there are medical advocates in each hospital, so use them if you need to. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your or your families rights.
