Who told you that you had cancer? You said the doctor said that you didn't? Did he do tests? That's the only way they find out. If he did tests and they were negative then you don't have cancer. If he did nothing and said you didn't have cancer then go to another doctor.

Yes, a few times.  Once I was in a car accident where my car was side swiped.  There were 3 passengers in my car, all of whom were injured and required hospitalization.  I refused transportation to the hospital by ambulance, believing I wasn't injured.  Then the paramedic, told me to look at the front of my shirt which was covered in blood.  At the same time, he reached down and picked something up off of the pavement.  It was my ear!  I immediately fainted and assumed I was loaded on the ambulance because when I woke up I was on a gurney in the hospital awaiting surgery!

WHEN I WAS 16 I WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR MIGRAINES.  HE WAS A GYNECOLOGIST AND INSISTED THAT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS WOULD HELP.  WHEN I WENT IN FOR THE VISIT, HE MADE ME STRIP DOWN AND PUT ON A GOWN AND GET ON THE TABLE IN THE STIRRUPS.  AND AS HE BEGAN THE EXAM, HE EXCUSED HIMSELF FOR AN EMERGENCY OUTSIDE THE ROOM.  HE LEFT ME IN THAT POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE HE ARGUED OUTSIDE OF MY DOOR WITH HIS WIFE.  WHEN HE CAME BACK IN, I WAS COMPLETELY DRESSED AND HE GOT ON TO ME FOR DRESSING--THE EXAM WASN'T OVER.  I INFORMED HIM THAT IT WAS INDEED OVER AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO CUSS HIM OUT.  AND WHEN I GOT TO THE PAYMENT WINDOW, I TOLD THE GIRL THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY'D BE GETTING ANY PAYMENT FOR THOSE SERVICES WAS IF SHE GOT THE MONEY OUT OF HIS WIFE'S ACCOUNT!!!\n\nI'VE NEVER BEEN SO PISSED OFF IN MY LIFE!!!

sometimes when i visit my doctor and i have been going to him for the past 3 years and he always ask me if i am allegic to any medication, and everytime he ask me the same question i just want to knock him on his head.  he has all my details on file right in front of him, but he will still ask.  i have come the the stage where i have acepted or ignored him and try not to let that question bother me and just answer that damn question, because if i let it bother me i will be worst off (sick) than before i entered his office.  just brush it off and you will feel better.

My son had dislocated his elbow.\n\nOnly waited a matter of minutes but couldn't understand the doctor.\n\nHe had manipulated his arm back into position but didn't explain it, then a nurse gave him some Calpol when I'd just told them I'd given him some.\n\nI just thought the doctor was examining his arm then he turned round and said he should be OK now!

Quite frankly, it's not your problem. I know you want to help, but your friend needs to be responsible for his/her actions. Tell your friend what you think, and urge him/her to be honest with the doctor. If he/she isn't honest, then he/she will suffer the consequences and it won't be your fault.

check with your doctor.

Did you go to the Dr. when your boyfriend was tested to prove he don't have anything, or did he just say that he doesn't have anything.  Boys lie.  All the time.  Because he wants to c*um inside of you....BE SMART!

Not the whole night, but almost the whole day and half the night. Pretty miserable. My 17 year old had been examined at our pediatrician. We had already been to see an endocronologist that day for a suspected thyroid problem. That doctor had sent us immediately back to our pediatrician. He ran a few tests, examined him, and generally acted extremely grim. He kept shaking his head when each test he did came back negative.  He told us to go to the Emergency Room for xrays and to see a surgeon.\n\nThe surgeon came into to see us moments after she had seen the xray. She was very kind, but said that she could not help my son. We were, of course, pretty alarmed by than, but no one was saying anything to us. Just lots of kindness and grim looks. Our pediatrician called the Emergency Room and told them to hold us and not allow us to leave. He wanted to make some phone calls to see where the best place would be to send us. It was close to 9pm by that time. The next phone call from him was equally frightening. My son was being sent to a major hospital about 2 hours away. We were given the option of transporting him ourselves instead of by ambulance. This whole time, he was fine. We were all just sitting around, bored, exhaused and alarmed.\nWe didn't even stop to pack clothes or tell anyone where we were going. It just totally slipped our minds. When we got to the major hospital he was admitted through the emergency room. They were waiting for us. Two doctors began an  immediate workup and that was the first time I heard the word cancer. He had lumps in his neck, groin, armpits. We were in total shock.\nBut, of course, the news just got worse and worse. I do not know how we made it through that night. At about 2AM he was still having tests and procedures. He had tumors throughout his body. He had multiple tumors in the abdominal cavity that were weeping and had caused his belly to be bloated with fluid - 40 pounds of it. One of the worst nights of my life.

Yes, it is unethical to lie to your patients.

This is a tough one - do you tell the truth or lie.  Lot's of luck, I wish I had an answer for you.
