Most doctors haven't been taken to small claims court enough for wildly misleading, damaging decisions based on failed math or other educational basics.
Alternatively, "Why do I think tests are so valuable that doctors should order more of them?"
The anti reflux meds didn't work, but my stomach pain did eventually go away, so it does lend credibility to just do the "first line treatment"/do nothing approach, but definitely frustrating from the patient perspective.
