Jessie J Reveals Misdiagnosis, Expresses Anger Over Scrapped Summer Tour

LOL.... Britain's version of Lady Gaga?? I'm not sure the planet can deal with two freaks!

some fractures don't appear for up to two weeks

This sounds like what i went through last March 2010. I stepped out of my car and heard a loud pop and lots of pain in the top of my foot. I went to the emergency room that night since i couldn't walk on my foot and it had swollen and turned all kinda shades of colors. They took X rays and said nothing showed up and it was probably just a sprain. I had borrowed a walking boot from a friend and thats how i walked til i could see my regular dr. She set up an MRI and called me the next day told me to see an orthopedic dr. I couldn't see him for another 4 weeks. He said I tore the large tendon in my foot that supports my foot down and it was so damaged by the time I had surgery 7 weeks after I had done it. I had a cast and no weightbearing for 8 weeks. Then had to learn to walk again. To this day i still am having problems with my foot. I keep thinking is this something that is a malpractice suit or what. The emergency room dr seemed like he didn't really even care. So I understand what Jessie J is going through. Its so frustrating to think that something so serious can be over looked.

I busted up my right hand working on a car. I went to one of the clinics listed by my insurance company. The "Doctor" said it was just a sprain. Well it hurt so bad that the next day I went to the ER with it. My hand turned out to be broken in two places. Now here is the funny part. One of the older "Doctors" at the clinic called me back and said I should come back in because my hand just may be broken...LOL I told him that I don't need to come in at all because I got it treated at my local ER, and its broken in two places.

Is it malpractice or just a mistake? I guess for Jessie J it all depends on how mad you get.

For every medical horror story in Canada I'm sure we have at least one to match it here. Regardless what medical system we have either here or in Canada, there are still all levels of competence or incompetence among the doctors and medical practictioners of all types. Same thing applies to the hospitals, clinics etc. . As someone else already posted, mistakes have been made since the dawn of time by all human beings. That's why they make erasers remember. True medical mistakes are a lot more risky but they do happen and not usually with malice.

FOR 17 YEARS I TOLD DOCTORS I HAD A TERRIBLE PAIN IN MY HEAD AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT, ALL I WAS TOLD WAS TO TAKE TYLENOL, I WENT TO A PAIN SPECIALIST AND SHE SENT ME FOR A MRI AND OTHER TESTS, WELL TO ALL THOSE DOCTORS OVER ALL THOSE YEARS ,SHE TOLD ME I FRACTURED MY C 6 C 7 IN THAT ACCIDENT AND I SHOULD HAVE HAD SURGERY THEN AND I WOULD BE OK TODAY, IVE HAD A HEADACHE FOR 20 YEARS NOW.THANKS DOCS FOR LISTENING TO ME ALL THOSE YEARS.I CAN ONLY HOPE U CAN GO THRU WHAT IVE GONE THRU. I REALLY HOPE U DO.

Crap like this has been happening for centuries. It's called a mistake. Humans make a crap load of them.

One case study of malpractice dates back CENTURIES!!


Dr Offoog lead medical guy of the greater South Weehawken cave dude tribe once diagnosed Zog, who complained of a headache, with lil' female dog syndrome. He prescribed the standard treatment for an owchi boo boo and sent him home with 2 pine nuts and an order to throw a stone in the direction of his cave in the morning. Zog did not see dawn to chuck that stone. :( Turns out the real problem was a spear jammed into the back of Zogs head. Seems Zog had a propensity to flatulate in his sleep. Smoodge, one of his cave mates came to a breaking point the night Zog ate some suspect Mammoth. Unable to sleep through the fetid smell and fearing the lack of sleep would affect his performance at the following days hunt, solved his problem by dropping a small boulder at the base of 'ol Windy Loin Cloth's skull as he slept.
Poor Zog :(

It should be noted however that this tragedy did mark the first iteration and development of what we now know as "Beano"

Remember kids: Beano before and they'll be no cranial hemorrhaging.

The bones won't heal. How is that the doctor's fault? "Man up, wimp."

So what ?
