I had good health insurance and went to three doctors for pain. 2 told me to rest and take generic pain killers (I guess they thought I was an addict or something). Third realized the problem and got me surgey and now I am pain free.
Truth is that most professionals in most industries suck and price does not appear to always correlate with quality.
Especially if health insurance is involved, because you're easily paying as much or more to the insurance vampires as you do to the doctor/hospital, all to give some shit another car he doesn't need.
The past few years have taught me that the majority of doctors are lazy, useless "professionals" who could not care less about you if you're not part of their specific sub-field of their specialization. Good luck even finding a GP who's intelligent enough to refer you to the proper specialist, too.
SpongeBob looks absolutely shocked and dismayed by this diagnosis.

I can't count the number of times ive been fairly sick or injured and pressured into going to a doctor, only for them to tell me "yep youre sick/injured. Get some rest and drink lots of water haha" then send me a bill for $200 in the mail a month later.
Most illnesses and injuries clear up with time and rest.
It's like getting upset when the IT guy tells you to restart and it works.
Im not complaining about what the doctor tells me. Im complaining about being nagged into a pointless doctor visit then being billed for it.
