Q: I got tested with blood tests and Xrays …. I called the doctor and he got the results back. He said everything was okay. I have all the symptoms of this disease…. Think i should get a 2nd opinion?

A: If you had spinal meningitis you wouldn’t be able to be sitting at this computer. If the doctor felt that you truely had it or that your symptoms were bad enough he would of done a spinal tap.You might have the symptoms, but those symptoms might be from the flu or another variety of reasons. If you feel you need a second opinion then you definatly should get one.The fact that the doctor didn’t do a spinal tap must mean he wasn’t too concerned that you have spinal meningitis.Did you ask the doctor what he thought was wrong with you? I would guess you have a powerful flu.Medicine is NOT an exact science. Thats why they say that Doctors pratice medicine. Meaning they could be wrong.Please get help if you are feeling worse or if you feel you need a second opinion.
