The $200 Shrug
For those of you in the medical profession I have nothing but respect for what you do. You're the best of us.
But you should know when we screw up our courage to come see you with a problem, getting the $200 shrug when the tests come back negative just makes us feel embarrassed and foolish for wasting your time.
Then we take the symptoms back home to wait until they either go away or become more acute.
Not sure what the answer for that is.
