I suffered for almost 15 years with something that was supposed to be easy to fix. The medical industry incompetence and exploitation is not limited to a country. The problem is world wide.
The problem is not that one given doctor can't fix an issue (which can happen). The problem is the monopoly they have on our health, preventing us to seek different solutions, get extensive tests done, etc. In the US it is easier to get liposuction than to get some basic testing done if your doc thinks it is unnecessary.
For example, depression is usually "solved" by prescribing SSRIs, but if you do some research, you find that there are perhaps hundreds of possible causes for it, none of which are usually tested for.
