    Can doctors not tell you what is wrong with you because Medicaid will not pay them for treatment? I am asking this because after normal MRI of my brain and ultrasound of my neck they put the blame for my symptoms on anxiety and depression. I have been on their meds for two weeks now and I am still dizzy and have blurry vision.

    i don't believe they can hide anything from you, unless it's something fatal, and they want you to live your life to the fullest.. and then you die in peace.

    Can a doctor hide a diagnosis from a patient?
    "

    Withholding medical information from patients without their knowledge or consent is ethically unacceptable. Physicians should encourage patients to specify their preferences regarding communication of their medical information, preferably before the information becomes available.

    Yes but there is no shortage of un-ethical doctors?

    go to the street corner at 43rd st, and 22nd ave, see Leon, he'll diagnose your problem, tell you what it is, how long you will live and give you a bag of meds, all for the low price of $59.99, and your Timex watch.

    And you know this how?
    What there is truly no shortage of are patients who expect doctors to give them a diagnosis that the patient feels comfortable with.
    There is also no shortage of hypochondriacs and drama seekers who use medical facilities to enhance what they see as serious medical problems when the real problem is between the patient's ears.

    They usually try the easy fixes first, just to see if they work

    Get a follow up appointment and tell them it didn't work, they need a better plan

    Sir, I went to a doctor after 2.5 years. I don't go there for fun. I am dizzy with blurry vision and they are blaming depression and anxiety. It is so hard to believe. Depression doesn't show symptoms over night. My symptoms showed up over night. Ok I will take their meds for 3 months. I hope they are right, I hope depression is causing all this.

    There is a reason why it's called "Practicing Medicine".
