[QUOTE="Maccaweeny, post: 207887"] First off, the doctor has absolutely nothing to do with your blood tests, that responsibility falls to pathology, who your doc must then rely upon. Add to this that antibody response tests are not very reliable. Secondly, misdiagnosis of throat infections is extremely common. Tonsillitis may be caused by either a virus or bacterial infection, your doctor wasn't negligent. That would require him to have fell so far from the duty of care placed upon an educated person in like circumstances so as to warrant a tortious remedy. Doctors must work long shifts, often being responsible for hundreds, no, thousands of different patients. Doctors are also human, something people seem to forget. My dad is being sued at the moment. He's practiced medicine for forty years, from emergency to private practice; not once has he had a patient die while in his care. This is all the while not being paid by the public hospital despite taking volunteer work to help Nowra's aboriginal population. What does he get in return? f***ing law suits. The end result is that he'll have to sell his practice, and the nearest ENT specialist will be three hours drive away, a trip many poorer patients (who have not benefited from a lovely pay out) will not be able to make. Of course, this is all irrelevant, just so long as certain individuals receive a gross amount of compensation. [/QUOTE]
