Unbelievable.  A teenager can diagnose their own illness but the medical profession can't.  I'd like to hear what the pathologist has to say about his mistake.

Pathetic.  Why do I get in trouble when I say or do something that makes my doc say, "stop treating/diagnosing yourself."  My answer is going to be for them to read this article!

SAD and DISTURBING that an 18 yr old is able to do the job that the Dr. is not.  It pretty much tells you what we are all up against, no one cares more about your own health than yourself and no one is as motivated to find a diagnosis either.

I  recently saw a show about a lady diagnosed and treated for breast cancer only to find out that the lab had switched her biopsy with some other lady's.  She had a breast and about 24 lymph nodes removed.
