I'd rather wait for the doctor that takes its time to diagnose everyone than the one that is always on time

    Maybe the one that's always on time is just really good at diagnosing.

    One of the skills doctors need is to be able to not only look that the most apparent option because should they diagnose wrong the patient is in a even worse position. Medicine is not a okams razor field, getting the diagnosis right precedes getting it fast.

    Yes it's much better to diagnose issues with no diagnostic criteria.

    And you get Fibromyalgia, and you get IBS, and you get some Lupus

    I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas

    Then refuse to treat them. That's for another doctor

    Bold of you to assume they're not just taking in way too many customers patients

    What are they supposed to do? Turn away sick people?
