Why Your Doctor Gets It Wrong (and a Simple Shift That Would Fix It)
About this episode
Almost all of us will be misdiagnosed at some point—a terrifying stat in an age of high-tech medicine. First, Alexandra Sifferlin digs into why doctors get it wrong so often and what her reporting for The Elusive Body reveals about the diagnosis crisis. Then, oncologist Ilana Yurkiewicz takes us inside the invisible handoff failures and systemic cracks that make American health care feel impossible to navigate.
