What Should Patients Do If They Suspect a False Negative?
If a patient suspects a false negative, they should:
1. Consult Their Doctor: Discuss concerns and symptoms with their healthcare provider to consider further testing. 2. Request Additional Tests: Ask for more comprehensive tests or different types of diagnostic procedures. 3. Monitor Symptoms: Keep a detailed record of symptoms and any changes, and report these promptly to their healthcare provider. 4. Seek a Second Opinion: Consulting another specialist may provide reassurance or identify missed abnormalities.
