Yes, for me it has been a 22 year long nightmare that just keeps getting worse. I wish I had known then what I know now. I would have chosen different career path

7 years ago i was misdiagnosed, I truly had pneumonia by my nurse practitioner diagnosed with with costo chondritis and she told me i would be fine take some motrin and keep going. well after 3 months, repeated drs office visits and god only knows how much motrin it finally got me. I had developed a 7- 8 cm empyema in my right chest cavity. my Ob/gyn was who finally diagnosed me correctly. I spent 2 weeks in a hospital, had almost daily chest ct's and xrays, labs every day, 2 picc lines, countless antibiotics, 2 thoracentesis, chest tube placement, home on 6 weeks of vanc and levaquin because that first stupid practioner had treated me with iv rocephin, out patient for "pyelonephritis" that i never had. i survived only by the grace of GOD and became a better nurse for having been on the other side of the bedrails. I wish you all the luck in the world,

Thanks ducknurse
