>>In my experience doctors tend to check symptoms and form a matrix in their head of possible causes, applicable medication, removing medications that conflict with each other and just give you the whole remaining set. You'll be paying for all that medication, btw.
(On consideration, I don't think I was clear enough on this point. Another attempt...)
For a Swede, that sounds like heaven.
The problem locally is that you can't get that done in Sweden for money. You go to doctor after doctor that don't care. They tell you something and kicks you out the door. If they don't know, they generally won't send you to a specialist.
I don't know the reason for this. Probably because the administrative burden of the centrally planned system takes up half the time of the doctors.
Right now I know two people with debilitating problems that are hard to find -- and they can't get doctors to try finding the real background.
There is a Swedish saying that you're in real trouble if you're too unhealthy to raise bloody Hell, because without a ruckus doctors aren't motivated to try to find the problem just to get rid of you.
The left wing parties are "married" to the system and makes a principle about it -- "It is wrong to earn money on people's health". They don't care if their principles work or destroy people's lives -- as long as they can sell the message to the Believers among the voters. (Or maybe they like people chronically ill, because those tend to vote to the left.)
I don't know what the rest of the incompetent f-ckups in the other political parties are doing with a perfect opportunity to sell a question to the voters.
There is imho a good lesson here about life and political systems.
