A doctor misdiagnosed an illness in me.

I went to a clinic near our house. A doctor and a nurse are both present there. I am confident of their assistance as I don't see any doubtful not until when tje doctor told me about a medical procedure that I am not sure is appropriate for my illness. Also, the nurse charged me a higher price than I expected and the medicine prescribed has a high price too. As I went for a second opinion in the different hospital, I was told that I was diagnosed with a non existent in my body.

People tend to get sick and go to the doctor as soon as possible. Some doctors are professionals in their field but can have misdiagnosed the patients. If the misdiagnose keeps on repeating, you can report them to the hospital that they are in. If your illness is as generic as the other, it can really cause a misdiagnosis.

I feel chest pains but I don't think the doctor who diagnosed me was right

That is definitely a scam, honestly no doctor in the right mind would diagnose a patient without even checking for blood pressure or without any use of equipment, this just sounds to me like the doctor you encountered was just taking a wild guest and is only doing this for his own benefit, so you'd buy expensive medication for him to earn a huge amount of money, my advice to you would to definitely consider reporting him and getting out of there.

Fraudulent activity and scamming is one of the most common cases the government is trying to prevent.
