And you thought your HMO sucked?
A MAN treated for 13 years for a terminal illness he never had yesterday won the right to continue legal action over the misdiagnosis.

Michael Garry Clarke was just three when diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the Royal Children's Hospital in 1974.

But the County Court heard he was given the all clear in 1987 after 13 years of adhering to a strict medical regime that included twice-daily physiotherapy and 29 pills a day.

Mr Clarke, whose younger brother is still battling the debilitating genetic disorder, is suing the Women and Children's Health Care Network and a doctor for injury, loss and damages.
This is pretty sad, and you might even say the lawsuit is warranted, but has this guy ever heard of a second opinion?
