A friend of mine complains that her right side below her breast is always aching, that she can't barely sleep during night time, she sweats a lot when she felt it.
She consulted a doctor and she was advise to have an ultra sound on that particular area where she felt pain and after the ultra sound, the radiologist told her that she had many stones on her gall, she went back to her doctor and was schedule for operation.
A week after that, she was operated or to be exact, yesterday but when it was open, the doctor find nothing. Her family ask the doctor of her condition after the operation and he just said, we don't find any stone.
If you were on the shoes of her family, or to the patient, what will you do, your body was opened and closed afterwards but nothing was inside even a single stone?

That is one valid reason cause doctors of different specializations coordinate and work together to give a complete diagnosis.

We, her friends told her to seek another doctors opinion but she didn't listen to us.

I would be upset and asking for any reimbursement for costs that I incurred due to it.

@ida123 That's good and that's how it should be . But imagine the ordeal of preparing for the operation . And besides , why didn't she asked for the opinion of other doctors ? You see when it comes to operation , you should seek the opinion of other doctors .

That's what I advise her, to seek second opinion. Maybe, she can't bear the pain, she submitted herself to operation. I also knew someone, my Dad was operated before, as far as I remember when I was still in high school days, he submitted himself for operation because the doctor told him that he had a stone on his kidney, ultra sound was not available at that time only x ray, but when he was operated, there's no stone, so the doctor closed the open wound, ha, ha.

Prolly wise to seek a second opinion. Right now, everything is advanced and almost made possible for everyone to be convenient so I am hopeful that she can get the right diagnosis. I pray that she will recover soon. It's hard to get sick nowadays. Everything is almost expensive.
