Is failure to detect appendicitis considered a misdiagnosis?

Hello, let me give you some of my opinions:

1. From your introduction, the doctor never made a diagnosis, so how can we talk about misdiagnosis?

2. The doctor failed to confirm the diagnosis through examination. He only treated the symptoms and continued to actively re-examine and observe until the typical symptoms of appendicitis appeared before making a diagnosis. There is nothing wrong with the medical procedure.

3. Appendicitis is a common and frequently-occurring disease in general surgery. Diagnosis is generally easy, but in tertiary hospitals, the misdiagnosis rate is 15%. Even the best doctors have stumbled upon this minor illness. I have been working in general surgery for more than 20 years, and I still have a misdiagnosis rate of 10%.

4. The condition of the human body is very complex. With the development of medicine today, all diseases cannot be diagnosed 100% of the time. I believe that as long as you are serious, meticulous and responsible, you will have a clear conscience.

5. Medicine is very professional. Doctors should strengthen communication with patients and their families. I was also angry about what happened to your friend in the end. This is already a social phenomenon. What do you think is the root cause? I don't think it's a doctor.

This is my opinion, please think about it calmly. If I offended you, it was unintentional.
