Many doctors really have NO CLUE about daily life, pain and discomfort from all the maladies they learn about in school!
And sometimes I think they think patients are making up symptoms etc. Often patients are not believed and are labeled "mental".
They are into observe, label, treat. Since pain is invisible can't observe it, hence it is not "real".
I don't know how often I saw people from the ER, (I worked midnights next door), come in with directions for back pain attacks to use a heating pad ...when ICE is much better in acute stages. The most simple things, doctors are clueless.
