The stats sadden me, the misadventures are difficult to fathom, I am trying through education and continued training not to add to these misadventures.
I agree with Dai, we were all taught and it is simple. We should all be doing our own exams and if you don't like something you feel or see get it evaluated. If your not happy with what you are told get a second and even third opinion.

I had to see four surgeons before I convinced one to biopsy my "cyst". My "cyst" turned out to be "clear cell sarcoma" malignant and very invasive.

We are our own best advocates.

Look after yourself,
