And in America they happen more often to:

1. Women.
2. Black people (esp. Black women)
3. Overweight people.

That’s the issue we’re dealing with here. Misdiagnoses do indeed happen, but there’s a problem when they happen more to some groups of people than others. And there is a very real issue with any kind of skin issue and Black people which results, amongst other things, in them dying of skin cancer at a higher rate (a false perception that Black people don’t get skin cancer also contributes).

As for teaching hospitals, I grew up in the UK and the top teaching hospital there still has a set of my X-rays from when I was a fairly young child…I have a benign skeletal deformity they didn’t have an example of so they asked my family if they could keep them. I assume they’re still there…
