Having watched my wife interact with the American medical system over the last 10 years for very similar symptoms, I have a much lower opinion of the amount of attention and care the average doctor is able to provide. There have been a few standout exceptions (her psychiatrist in particular) but overall there is little collaboration between the many specialists, and after billing our insurance for a battery of tests, there often little to no follow up.
