>want to do something, anything

Culture could be changed from the expectation that most encounters with a doctor result in an action. The problem is visiting a doctor costs hundreds of dollars for a short amount of time. It doesn't matter if you have insurance or free universal health care, it still costs hundreds of dollars regardless of the layers of abstraction you put on top of the billing.

I personally wish encounters with doctors resulted in more tests or other data gathering (and hopefully that data made available de-identified for analysis)
