I had undiagnosed hypothyroidism for 2 years of my childhood because doctors looked at my textbook symptoms and just claimed I was lazy. Ultimately I was diagnosed by my mother's coworker/friend. They were parking ramp toll booth attendants at an airport at the time. She recognized the symptoms because her dog had it. My mother had to go full Karen on a doctor until they agreed to test for it. Your average doctor is given entirely too much faith.
