Agreed. It’s common for doctors to be skeptical of patients if there’s no test that proves the condition they have, even though absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence. It’s a sign for inquiry at least until certain causes can be ruled out for the still suffering patient; not just lazily diagnosing them with anxiety as doctors are sometimes apt to do.
By creating tests, it gives both doctor and patients the ability to move forward to create incentives for the medical industry to solve these problems. The former so they’re not penalized for questioning the status quo. The latter so they have their concerns properly addressed.
Very important work.
