    I think this is the root error in the medical system. If this one error - defaulting to psychological cause - was corrected there would be much less iatrogenic harm and death; fewer needless appointments / testing and more accurate referrals / testing; better patient-physician relationships; and more time for mental health workers to support people with actual mental health challenges.

    The second biggest problem, while I'm ranting, is the crazy long hours they make doctors work. No wonder medical error is the third leading cause of death. They are not making widgets in a factory, there are playing with people's lives.

    Maybe the real root error is the god complex.
