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.
