Trust a folk fourm no. but doctors???

Isotretinoin is assosciated with (temporay I believe) pseudotumor cerebri. I'd have thought the doctor, particularly knowing what the patient was on would have questioned that rather than people needing to see an optician to get things sorted.

I guess one could question why my dad was administered steptokinase for what is now generally believed to have been a Menniers attack. There is no evidince of there even having been an ECG... before the administration. He is now disabled probably having had a stroke as a side effect of the drug...

Doctors and modern medicine probably do offer the best chances but they are still falible. One of the above way what was thought to be an emergency situation. The other was one where it is clear that a second opinion from an (again within the medical proffesion) helped.
