Had a dozen visits to the ER. I was Constantly sent away because nothing serious. Tests generally clean. Told it was mental. Problems persisted.

Kept avoiding ER, I felt bad wasting time. Plus money.

Finally went in and they ran an extra test and found the issue. Probably had seen 30 doctors during all of this.

Some of the doctors were amazed I hadn’t dropped dead yet.

The realization that the median doctor is probably about as good at their job as the median techie makes me shudder at the thought of going to the ER. Yeah, I'll do it if I have to.

The old joke applies: what do you call the graduating student with the lowest grade? Doctor.

I unfortunately came to this realization as I was graduating college. A decent number of my less-than-stellar high school acquaintances were going to be attending medical school.
