My health center is awful. I have so many awful stories about friends of mine being misdiagnosed. A friend of mine had a cyst of some kind inside of his throat. The doctors told him that it was strepth (even though you could see this thing...it was huge!) The thing kept getting bigger although he was on antibiotics. Got to the point where his throat started to close up. By the time he got to the ER (he was having trouble breathing), the thing had popped and created a nasty mess all over the ER.
I've gone in for colds and flus and was prescribed the Z-pack. These are antibiotics. They're trying to cure a viral infection with antibiotics!!!! This is one of the reasons why bacteria is becoming resistent because people are taking antibiotics for viral infections.
