Doctor's misdiagnosis led to 'preventable' death of Indigenous man
www.abc.net.auPretty scuffed. Cliff notes:
- patient presents to hospital reporting agony in tummy
- doctor finds out he uses cannabis
- diagnoses with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (some people after heavy use suddenly develop persistent nausea, recently identified, rare and is a diagnosis of exclusion)
- patient is sent home
- patient dies due to severe stomach ulcers
Seems pretty concerning to me.
