How would you react to..

Ok I need to know something, I was talking one of my friends and her dad has this strange disease and and the doctors are trying to fix it up so he can go home to be with his family but this is what they told him, " there is something wrong with you..but we don't know what"

OK OMG If I heard that I would be like YOU DON'T KNOW!!! I am putting my life in your hands and you can't save me!! OK THATS PLAIN AWFUL!! I would totally don't know what I would do but still!!

-How are you react to this news?
-What plan of action would you take to fix the problem?

Woo ryomakurosaki... the Docs a just stupid but their are many diseases out their that look almost the same, so if u think that they aren't doing their job then just find someone that can help, maybe the CDC could help. They sometimes help hospitals that can't find a disease that a patiant has, so breath.... and relax and if they still can't help then throw a granade at them that'll make them work faster.

LOL I applied to join them ^^ lol umm no!! I want to help the doc to find a cure duh!! not kill them!!:laugh: But seriously how would you react to that oh yea you got a problem..but I don't know how to fix it? Thats so lame to tell someone!! dude I would be pissed to no limit

Just do some research on the symptoms of that "strange disease" of your dad's. Who knows. It might be some ultra rare affliction only affecting 10,000 people right now out of the 6 billion+ on Earth. Oh, and after you find a possible suspect, maybe you should try contacting a specialist. If it turns out to actually be an ultra rare affliction, contact those people in charge of Mystery Diagnosis, please?

Really, if I were faced with that type of situation, I'd do some research myself, and ask other doctors for their output.

I agree very much with what abby said.
I've learned from many personal experiences that even sometimes the experts don't know what to do, this doesn't mean that they are useless it just means that they are human and like all humans they don't know everything.
Most doctors get their knowledge from college and experience but sometimes both of those can be of no assitance in certain cases when there is something that has never been seen before.

My advice would be, like abby said, do some research.
The net is a great place to start.
Other doctors are also a good resource.
Try posting your questions on medical forums...you never know...you might just get an answer.

I am the type of a person that would freak out if I hread something like that.especially if it was to someone who is really close to me like my father.......i would definitely get with an argument with the doctor and I would start seriously to go nuts and start being paranoid...but I can't help it because just the though if loosing someone close to you makes me go crazy and who wouldn't..my nest step would be searching for anyone out there.no matter in what country even if I had to go to Antarctica to get the medication or the solution to the problem..i would do that..but I would never give up..never and the is the most important thing to do....because once you give up..there is no going back from that.and it is very important during these times that you have a lot of hope and faith.and believe that miracles to happen.

umm well first i wuold freak out for like s lil while but thats me then i would take some action and go to another doctor and if they said that same thing i would go to another one. so yea. keep going to other doctors. lol.
but umm yea

Aah, yes, spinning positively on the situation instead of spiraling into a depression will definitely help your friend's family cope with the situation... But you have to remember smiles and happy thoughts won't bring a cure. Take action, my colleagues! And I mean real action! If I were in your friend's place, I'd only resort to any sort of otiose desires only as a last resort... Rely on methods that you can only rely on.
