Is more an anecdote for “modern medicine is really impressive actually and not placebo” and “the human mind’s capacity for pattern recognition is fairly large”
Right but in your example it shows why the medical system doesn’t : “doctor said X, based on long experience and pattern matching, you do X, it was cured” is a better and cheaper experience than “doctor runs a bunch of tests, you wait 2 weeks for the results, run some more tests, wait some more, in the end you do X and you were cured”
Basically I think that you’re understanding the capacity of the human mind to pattern match. This is unrelated to the question of whether the US healthcare system is fit for purpose.
Ya I think this is basically what I wrote in the last section. (Though I could quibble -- it's a good thing I didn't do exactly what the doctor suggested or I'd still be comatose 😂)
I will say that:
> refuses to follow doctor advice
> argues for wayy more tests
> follows doctor’s advice
> gets better
> all tests were unnecessary

I didn't say it was a placebo, I said we should test more
