Friend of mine was suffering from vaginal bleeding and 3 doctors that she saw unequivocally diagnosed her with uterine fibroid. Despite several months of conservative treatment, she was still bleeding. They finally opened her up and found out she didn't have any uterine fibroid.

Now she's back to square one without knowing what she has. She's still bleeding and out a lot of $$$$$ for treatments and surgery.

How often is uterine fibroid misdiagnosed? Does she have a case if she decides to take a legal action?
