◆1 source
A special published last week featured three women who had struggled with health problems for years and had either not received a diagnosis or had been misdiagnosed. Dries Schellekens, a clinical chemist-endocrinologist from Eindhoven who specializes in hormone management, returned to the issue of limited medical knowledge discussed in the article and emphasized that discovering a rare condition does not by itself mean that a misdiagnosis occurred.
