Reply to comment by tyedyezzz in TIL about medically unexplained symptoms, almost 1/4 of all people who visit a GP in the UK have phsyical conditions that cannot be explained by gorge_orwoll

Just because it can't be explained doesn't mean they won't get drugs.

And if they're not after drugs, they're likely just starved for attention. Nothing makes them feel more important than a sympathetic doctor asking them about their life like they matter.

I think they do matter.

And getting drugs isn't a diagnosis.

I didn't say it was.

They only matter to the doctors in terms of dollars, not in terms of people.
