The author of this article is living in the some 'It's a Wonderful Life' twilight zone. Medical professionals now, generally speaking, don't care about you. Actually they care about you moderately for the time you are positioned directly in front of them, so if you've got an easily treatable malady there's hope for you. But if you are frightened and have an abdominal issue you know is not normal, then you're cast out into the Wilderness of Specialists who put you through a series of diagnostics and if these tests don't flash positive for something, you are on your own. Doctors don't care and are not your friend; a majority are goobs with no troubleshooting skills at all. They know to prescribe the blue powder for this condition, and the red powder for the other thing. They do not understand, nor do they care to. The Chinese physician of 600 years ago may well have served you better. Marcus Welby is dead; actually he's a fiction, he never was.
