Well, I heard of someone who thought that if a little afrin was good, more would be better. So they increased the dosage on their own. As a result, they had trouble sleeping at night due to a racing heart and restlessness. They also noticed that their nasal congestion actually got worse after a while.

Yes. Some people are wrongly diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency just based on general fatigue or mild muscle pain. They are then given Vitamin D supplements.

It's a horror story of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Well, I heard about a case where the prong collar was too small. It was constantly digging into the dog's neck, creating sores and making the dog extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps a person had an allergic reaction to afrin. Their nose started swelling up and they had difficulty in swallowing. They were panicked as they didn't know what was happening.

Well, a man was told he had a rotator cuff problem and needed surgery. However, it turned out that the real issue was a pinched nerve in his neck that was causing the shoulder pain. After the rotator cuff surgery, his pain persisted. He had to start from scratch to find the real cause. He went through various neck examinations and finally got the correct treatment for the pinched nerve, but the whole process was very frustrating and he had to endure the pain for a long time due to the incorrect diagnosis before the rotator cuff surgery.
Yes. There was a case where a person got an infection after Morpheus8. The skin around the treated area became swollen, hot to the touch, and pus started to form.

Sure. Sometimes a child may be misdiagnosed as needing ABA when in fact they had other underlying issues. For example, a child was diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder and put into ABA therapy.
