Of course, it's easier to do a diagnosis with a car, cars are much better understood than human physiology. Medical science recently discovered (well, recognized) a new organ in the body. I went to the doctor for a non-specific illness. The doctor ran $3000 worth of tests, and by the time the last of the test results came back, it had gone away. The doctor shrugged and said "Huh, I dunno what that was. Probably some kind of infection". Some things are more clear (i.e. a broken arm), but if it doesn't heal well and the $1000 estimate for an X-ray and a cast turns into a $10000 surgical procedure plus 6 months of therapy, are you going to expect the doctor to just eat the cost? Are you going to shop your painful broken arm and medical records around to 3 different doctors to get a new estimate?
