12 million Americans misdiagnosed each year

Each year in the U.S., approximately 12 million adults who seek outpatient medical care are misdiagnosed, according to a new study published in the journal BMJ Quality & Safety. This figure amounts to 1 out of 20 adult patients, and researchers say in half of those cases, the misdiagnosis has the potential to result in severe harm.
Previous studies examining the rates of medical misdiagnosis have focused primarily on patients in hospital settings. But this paper suggests a vast number of patients are being misdiagnosed in outpatient clinics and doctors' offices.
"It's very serious," says CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook. "When you have numbers like 12 million Americans, it sounds like a lot -- and it is a lot. It represents about 5 percent of the outpatient encounters."
Getting 95 percent right be good on a school history test, he notes, "but it's not good enough for medicine, especially when lives are at stake."

Obama care will make this much worse going forward. In fact I'm sure some of you have already experienced the incompetence first hand since the passage of Obamacare. ACA was  never  about good Healthcare its about Taxing Americans till death and making sure the Government has a steady Income source and what better vehicle to use than our Healthcare system for a constant flow of funds.
