Yes, there was a story about a patient who was misdiagnosed. Due to this misdiagnosis, they were given the wrong treatment which made their condition worse instead of better. They suffered a great deal both physically and mentally as a result.

Sure. There was a case where a graphic designer completed a logo design according to the client's initial brief. But then the client claimed it was not what they wanted and refused to pay. The designer had evidence of all the communication and drafts but still had a hard time getting Upwork to side with them in the dispute. It was a long and tiring process.

Sure. Civilians often face the horror of being caught in crossfire. For example, there are cases where families were having a normal day at home when suddenly their houses were targeted. Women and children had no time to escape and got injured or even killed.

Sure. There were reports of sexual harassment at the event. Some women felt unsafe due to the rowdy and uncontrolled behavior of some of the male attendees. It was a very unpleasant situation for them.

Sure. There was an employee who lost a finger in a machine at work. The work comp claim was initially approved, but then the insurance company started to nitpick. They said that the employee might not have been following safety procedures exactly, even though there was no real evidence. As a result, the amount of compensation was reduced significantly, and the employee was left with huge medical bills and no proper support to adjust to life with a missing finger.

Sure. One person I know had really bad tremors while on Effexor. It made it hard for them to do simple things like hold a pen or a cup.

Sure. There was a case where McKinsey advised a startup on its business strategy. They pushed for rapid expansion into multiple markets simultaneously.

Yes. There was a baby who was misdiagnosed as needing a doc band. The doctor thought the baby had a severe head shape issue. After getting the doc band, the baby showed signs of distress. Later, it was found out that the baby's head shape was actually normal for its age and stage of development. The family had spent a lot of money on the doc band and the baby had to endure unnecessary discomfort.

A lot of the displaced people ended up in refugee camps. These camps were often overcrowded and lacking in basic amenities. People there were vulnerable to diseases, and children were especially at risk.
