Why do doctors not mention or disclose all diagnosis to you?
I have not always been told of my medical testing results or not been diagnosed with a certain disease or illness even with signs and symptoms pointing to something and dont know if I have become worse now due to that....is it racism..negligence..incompetent staff or do they not care what happens to patients once they leave the hospital or clinic

I have heard that you won't be told of things if they know its due to your previous doctors incompetence or drug damage.
Ive also heard in mental health they diagnose disorders you don't have to get your insurance or government subsidies to pay more. They dont tell you because you don't have it. Next place that gets your record will believe it though. Mild depression will become severe, suicidal depression etc.

It is gross negligence not to divulge to a patient a test that shows (or might show) a medical problem. Furthermore, it is gross negligence to not perform necessary tests in a timely fashion. For example, if a tumor was found, and the appearance of the tumor suggests that it is cancer, it is gross negligence to wait months before making further tests or taking a biopsy. In England, a law was passed mandating further tests or actions after 30 days. Many preventable deaths and debilities can be avoided by swift action with technology readily at hand. Medical researchers constantly hold out hope for some miracle cure and expend huge amounts of money and attention to find that cure. Yet, simple alacrity could save thousands of lives.
