What Are Gallstones and How Are They Misdiagnosed by a Doctor?
A gallstone is a hard deposit of calcified digestive fluid that collects in your gallbladder. The gallbladder is on the right side of the abdomen, under the liver, and it holds bile that is released into the small intestine to help you digest food. If you develop issues or symptoms of gallstones, they will usually need to be removed, but if they are misdiagnosed then they will grow and the symptoms may continue without warning.
What Are Complications from Misdiagnosed Gallbladder Diseases?
