Bethenny Frankel said in an Instagram video posted Monday, August 3, that doctors had allegedly misdiagnosed her with “something pretty major.” The 55-year-old former Real Housewives of New York City star did not identify the condition, but said a private medical network helped her reevaluate her lab results, health markers and long-term care. Frankel described the service as a legitimate, Mayo Clinic comparable resource that could be accessed from home, rather than a luxury concierge setup. She said the experience left her questioning an earlier diagnosis and encouraged followers to seek second, third and even fourth opinions before accepting major medical information as settled fact. What Did Bethenny Frankel Say About Her Health? Frankel said people should keep detailed records of symptoms, previous diagnoses and concerns raised by medical professionals. She also warned against treating internet commentary as a substitute for qualified care, especially as online conversations can make it feel like “everybody is saying that they have everything.” Earlier this year, Frankel said she had been diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease and previously discussed exhaustion, dehydration and anxiety connected to her health concerns. Frankel has not clarified whether the alleged misdiagnosis involved kidney disease or another condition, so the specifics remain undisclosed; her advice was to document symptoms and discuss conflicting information with licensed medical professionals.
