Best Doctors For Everyone

I decided to draw our attention to this report which was sent to me last week: 1 in 5 breast cancer tests wrong.

"Am I getting the right diagnosis from my doctor?" That is something I have certainly thought about when going to the doctor. I have all the respect in the world for doctors. My doctor is a very intelligent woman and she has been my family doctor since I was born. But I have always understood that it is not possible for her to be an expert in all medical fields, so quite often family doctors refer to specialists. As much as I would like to believe that what I am being told is correct, I have heard many examples along the same lines as that news report from Quebec; misdiagnoses are prevalent in the medical community. What's the answer to this problem then?

Well, I would like to address your attention to an organization that I feel is life-saving: Best Doctors . Their vision: "When you need to be absolutely sure, Best Doctors is there." Take a look at the website and read a little about them. It really is a fascinating organization. A quick explanation of what they do is this: when you get a diagnosis from a doctor you are able to send your file to the Best Doctors organization and they will review it. Then they have the ability to both change the diagnosis and treatment.

You may ask, "How do I know I am I getting credible advice?" Well, according to the Best Doctors website, the physicians in the Best Doctors database have been identified by their peers as being the ‘best’ in their specialty areas. They seek "doctors whose reputation for clinical excellence places them in the top 5% of their specialty."

If there is anything to get a second opinion on, is it not your health? I am a huge supporter of Best Doctors and I have made sure that I am a member so I can take advantage of this service in the future should it be necessary.

If you want to learn more about how you can become a member for no membership charge, please let me know. Being part of Best Doctors could save your life one day.

Have a great week!
