I lived with my mom for a bit and she was watching some movie that I caught a snippet of and I laughed out loud. Those docs would be reprimanded and fired. You have to follow the protocol set forth by the hospital/clinic/conglomerate.

Insurance is also a big determining factor in treatment. My doc had to diagnose me with some weird ass diagnosis just to get my insurance to cover a test that I'd been ordering myself for years to check on my autoimmune issues. He said even though I had a clear autoimmune problem, treatment would be the same no matter what my antibody numbers were so they wouldn't cover a test to see if my experiments were lowering them or not. He essentially gave me a mystery disease so we can keep ordering the tests to see what supplements help.
