Millions are missing
And the cooper’s wife is too
So we hold our silent vigil
For a girl in a gown too blue
Lost in halls and hospitals
A silver talisman bears true
The diagnosis they doubted
With “Maybe it’s just you?”

“Maybe it’s your fault
Did you ever think it might?
It sure looks like anxiety
Caught in fight or flight
This isn’t an emergency
I’ve no time to spare tonight
For another hypochondriac
Who thinks her Google search is right”

The words echo again
We’ve heard them all before
Generations of us girls
Lost to fable and to lore
Seal wives and fae women
Changelings left by the door
You wouldn’t hear our screaming
So now you’ll hear our roar

The ‘diagnostic odyssey’ is a term used to describe the time taken between a patient first developing #symptoms and receiving a correct #MedicalDiagnosis. This can be a long and eventful journey.

Feeling a bit feisty after seeing recent tweets from doctors & journalists regarding medically unexplained symptoms & the push to give a functional and/or somatic diagnosis without thoroughly ruling out other diagnoses.
So here are my thoughts:

1. Approximately 12 million US adults are misdiagnosed every year, and women and minorities 20 to 30 percent more likely to be misdiagnosed. How many women are having their medically unexplained symptoms dismissed as part of a somatic illness?

2. The diagnostics 4 somatic illnesses place a red flag on patients who have multiple symptoms. The AAFP states that SSRD "should be considered early in the evaluation of patients with unexplained symptoms to prevent unnecessary interventions and testing."
