Professional doctors answer...or people with experience with patients....?!


Question: Professional doctors answer!.!.!.or people with experience with patients!.!.!.!.!?
You guys might have watched or heard of the series House M!.D!. They show some things that I don't understand!.
Every fifteen minutes the patient shows new symptoms which they usually do not expect!. Then they try to do tests to test for some disease that they think is possible, and most of the time their guesses get wrong!.
Isn't it trial and error!? isn't there a possibility that they test for something (that they think is not going to affect the patient while testing) turns out to be something deadly because of presence of something that they were unaware of!? You know what I mean!? Thank you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's just a dumb show about an ugly dude with an attitude who WISHES he got laid!.!.!.

Don't worry about what they portray!. It's false!. Very, very false!.

Usually when a patient comes in, they are showing symptoms!. You ask them what their symptoms are!. You run tests!. The tests might show something the patient was not aware of, and you can base a diagnosis off the testimony of the patients complaints, as well as the hard facts from the tests that were done!. And you treat from there!.

Nothing 'new' pops up, unless all of a sudden, the patient exploded in a big pile of blood, or an alien came squirming out of someone's belly!. But then again, that's just Hollywood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

thats just holly wood
in fact the next time you watch that show keep an eye on your clock!. it's pretty much the plot for every episode!. anything before 45-55 minutes into the episode is a wrong answere!.

in real life, doctors are pretty good at getting it right on their first try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It happends today, not just on TV, just not as dramatic!.
New or odd cases do take some trial and error!. The part on TV that might not happen in real live is the jumping to treatment part, without knowing for sure what the cause is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

whenever me and my parents watch House, they are always complaining about how completely unrealistic and what a bunch of crap it is!. my parents are both doctors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the show is fiction and they are trying to get high ratings most ppl don't know what half of that crap is so the show uses that as an advantage to get more viewersWww@Answer-Health@Com

That is hollywood BUT to some point it is trial and error with the diagnosis till tests comes in BUT it is rarely trial and error with treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is a medical drama, not something to be taken seriously or related to real doctors/nursesWww@Answer-Health@Com

yup, just hollywood!. real doctors and surgeons are much more competent than thatWww@Answer-Health@Com
