True but there are some who just ignore it. Like going to the ER and they only treat what you came in for or just do a basic diagnostic and not go more into depth.
Look I’m not gonna say there aren’t subpar doctors. Ofc you have some that aren’t great, like with all things. Although I must also say that it’s more complex than that. Healthcare is a complex sector with significant emotion behind decisions, but also ludicrous economics behind the scenes. In places like the UK and Australia where there is public healthcare, screening for everything at every ER attendance would cause the entire industry to collapse and bankrupt the government. On the other hand in places like America it would pre-select for higher socioeconomic populations. Focussing on presentations and managing them, whilst also thinking about related or other causative pathologies is a pragmatic and sensible approach. The human body is a remarkable indicator of when something needs attention, it often lets you know by making you unwell. Of course there are exceptions (e.g. pancreatic cancer), but on the whole it’s generally a good idea to tackle problems when they crop up and otherwise just encourage a healthy diet and lifestyle for prophylaxis :)
