There are situations where the reverse occurs. Both I and relatives were told many times by our primary physician that we were perfectly okay, but upon insisting we were directed to specialists who diagnosed us as not okay. An example is when I visited several doctors before I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease, or when my primary care physician gave me eye meds that made my eye worse, and the eye doctor was complaining that they told them many times not to try and treat eye conditions cos they're not specialists and these wrong prescription stuff often happens.

That's a very interesting perspective, however i noticed that you mentioned that upon insisting, you were directed to a specialist who assisted in the diagnosis. This brings me to my previous writeup about seeking a second opinion, i don't know if you read that, i think i posted it last week. I am happy to know you understood your right and obligation to yourself as a patient to be able to insist on some of these things, we all need to learn that because health workers are human too and we can sometimes make mistakes.
Always remember you know yourself best and your healthcare provider knows the medicine, healthcare is team work between patient and the doctor or physician.
