This really strikes to the heart of it. If the outcome of a fifteen minute appointment I’ve waited nine months for will determine whether I’m going to receive a diagnosis that _might_ lead to a better outcome, there’s no way I’m not going to do a lot of research to make that appointment go well.
And then there’s no way that anxiety won’t be monetized in some way.
We need doctors to be able to be compassionate people working towards the best solution, instead of trying to pigeon hole diagnosis codes for vague, protracted illnesses so insurance companies will allow them to continue working.
