because the medical system is poor, and many relate to it. In fact, I am personally going throug this right now. No doctor "agreed" with me, and I am currently programatically trying to aggregate my test data because it is frustrating. I, and many people, can relate to being dismissed by doctors or having the medical system fail them.
To be clear, for > 6 months and 4 appointments I was told I was fine. I finally think what I have was an auto-immune disease which was what the 2nd ER doctor I saw thought my symptoms were, and her tentative diagnosis. Obviously, she could only run preliinary tests because if she ran the confirmation panels...well...she would have to follow up with me and that isn't her job.
- tacos 10y agoIf a preliminary test shows something they're happy to run more tests. It's how they make money. ER is triage. If it's not something they can fix with a needle and a bag (or a needle and thread) rolling you in for expensive tests and specialist consultations is their entire business model. Your commentary doesn't make sense.
