Reimbursement for wrongful diagnosis from medical professionals

If a doctor wrongfully diagnosis you, the American people should be reimbursed for the money they spent on the wrongful diagnosis. So many doctors don’t properly listen to peoples problems and brush them off as stress, lack of sleep etc. When there could really be a much bigger problem. If someone were to provide paperwork of their true diagnosis after other doctors have given them incorrect diagnoses, that person should be reimbursed for the money they spent on the wrongful diagnosis. I believe this will also hold healthcare workers more accountable, and give doctors more of an incentive to listen to their patients properly. After all, everyone listens when money is at stake.

That’s a really good idea. And it should be simple, not a bureaucratic fight.

Psychiatry would be the most litigated specialty ever
