Let me get this straight:

  • On Wednesday, the nurses gave you reassurances of the most likely scenario b/c rhabdo is quite rare but still raised the issue with MD at the next available time.

  • On your next appointment (Friday), you saw the doctor who, again common things being common, said you were probably fine but still recommended you go to the hospital to have labs drawn for a rare but serious complication. You then went to the hospital and were immediately and correctly diagnosed.

Given that scenario, you believe everyone involved should lose their licences and livelihood?

As for physicians, they account for about 1/10th of all health care expenses.
