Where is this happening? I've had long wait times in Germany, but low cost and good care. In the US I have very little wait time and high cost and equally good care. The doctors unfortunately don't go all Doctor House on me, but they certainly aren't shying away from touching me and physically inspecting any issue and ordering follow-up tests. The results aren't always very satisfying, but I understand that there are limited to what's reasonable to invest in researching relatively mild symptoms.

Meanwhile my mom has had cronic pain without any proper diagnosis. However, the German public health care system must have spent €50-100k in tests and to my astonishment she is currently in a clinic for 3 weeks that focuses on undiagnosed pain. As close to Dr House as it gets.
