On Wednesday, February 23, the Emmy Award-winning syndicated series THE DOCTORS (check local listings) focuses on the hazards of medical misdiagnoses, as Chandra Wilson frankly reveals the nightmare diagnosis she received for oldest child Sarina, and their desperate search for answers.

"When we finally got a diagnosis, it was like a ‘Eureka' moment, and now we could develop an action plan of things we could do to avoid an episode in case another one develops," Wilson relates of her experience.  "It's been four months since she'd had an episode, so we're cautiously optimistic." 

Plus, discover if a toothache could be a sign of something more life-threatening, and mundane symptoms such as asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and even chapped lips, may have potentially more serious diagnoses.  Also, learn what is most misdiagnosed condition found in women is.

"The things that are most commonly misdiagnosed are the things that are often the most difficult to diagnose," says Dr. Travis Stork.
