Suicide after wrong diagnosis 
13 November 2003 

A nurse who hanged herself after a doctor said she had a brain disease had nothing wrong with her. 

Sally Moth, 31, mother of a four-month-old son, had depression which got worse after the misdiagnosis by a Canadian doctor in Norway, an inquest in Dorchester was told. 

A postmortem examination found nothing wrong with Miss Moth. She died at her home in Weymouth in May. The coroner recorded a verdict of suicide.

So what did they tell her she had. Seems like a second opiniion would have been easier.

Yeah, but with socialized medicine, isn't there like a 10 year waiting period for a second opinion? (can you detect sarcasm)

If she was seeing a Canadian doctor in Norway, maybe she was getting a second opinion.
