How terrible is it to be misdiagnosed by the hospital?

It may lead to disability or loss of life, which is still terrible.

Error in etiological judgment: The patient suffered from dry eye due to video terminal syndrome, and the hospital misdiagnosed the disease as Sjogren's syndrome. The nature of the disease was misjudged: benign tumor was diagnosed as malignant tumor.

Misdiagnosis is wrong diagnosis. Including misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, missed diagnosis, misjudgment of the cause and the nature of the disease. Diagnostic error: The symptoms of the disease are similar. Take interstitial cystitis as an example, its symptoms are often similar to urinary tract infection. In the early stage of the disease, there are usually infectious factors, which are easy to be misdiagnosed.

Delayed diagnosis: taking acute abdominal pain as an example. A doctor asked about the unknown medical history and incomplete physical examination. They found a banded rash during the physical examination, but they delayed the diagnosis because they thought the rash was caused by wax treatment. Missed diagnosis: missed diagnosis of some diseases. For example, patients with chronic bronchitis and lung cancer are only diagnosed as chronic bronchitis; The patient suffered multiple injuries, but was diagnosed as soft tissue injury, but missed brain injury.
