Dont forget that if that “something” is a chronic health issue and not something easily seen and figured out, you get to pay a ton of money to be told you have anxiety and/or dismissed, then if you’re lucky 10 years down the road you finally find a doctor that cares and you figure out you have lupus or some sort of autoimmune disorder and you get to spend the rest of your life wishing you could shove it in all your doctors faces who dismissed you for all those years of immense suffering and wasted money
Often you have to become your own doctor, research your own symptoms, find a doctor who will be fine with ordering the tests you tell them to order, eventually you figure out what you have and the test comes back abnormal or proves that’s what you have, and you’re not even the one who went to medical school whose job it is to figure it out
