The problem with dr appointments is that too often, physicians dont actually think carefully about your case.
It's like they one-shot it.
This is why I've had my dr change their mind between appointments, having had more time to review the data.
Or I get 3 different experts giving me 3 different (contradicting!) diagnoses.
That's also why I always hesitate listening to their first advice.
I see many comments like this in here. Where is this so common? I'm not from US but I had impression that health-care while expensive, it is good. If I assume most comments come from US then it is just expensive.
I cannot imagine doctor evaluating just one possibility.
