10. Long tail
Wrong diagnosis can cause a bottleneck in treatment, dragging patients through a much longer patient
journey, according to the patient himself having unnecessary medication switching. In addition, the effect is
lack of trust in HCPs.
“they called it some kind of dermatitis and gave us 3 perscriptions ($130 to fill all three with
insurance)….Turns out they(the doctors) got it wrong - he has severe {Disease} - it is on his
face, neck, chest, back, armpits, elbows and in his pubic region. The stuff they gave him before made it
worse. They gave us 2 more perscriptions and suggested yet another soap. That will be another $50+. If
they don't get it right this time I guess we will find another doctor….”
General
Some patients go around for years untreated after stopping inefficient treatment and are only able to get
temporarily relief from OTC.
“(I definitely think I have a form of {Disease})...I had gone to dermatologists in the past with really no results so I kind of
gave up on them. I'll use maximum strength denorex and it gives me relief but it doesn't get rid of anything and by the
next day it's back to being dry/itchy/flaky/scaley. I know using denorex every day isn't good for my hair so to be honest
I don't really use it unless I am really having a bad itchy day. After 20+ years of this crap I am finally at my wits end and
I just want to be "cured" if I even can be. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks! Jessi”

where most of insights lie)
