As I said to someone else here a few weeks ago, unless you are hired to manage and prioritize and are paid for managing doctors and prioritizing the workload of doctors, you should not be concerned with how to prioritize their workload.

It appears to me that you are not in the business of managing doctors.

So why are you thinking these thoughts?

Also, the point of seeing a doctor, as Ultramar has pointed out, is in that you cannot diagnose yourself with 100% accuracy. Since you cannot diagnose yourself with 100% accuracy, you cannot say "there is probably nothing wrong with" - your thought process is fallacious.

To sum up, you are attempting to determine how third parties (doctors, in your case) should spend their time (in general, your primary concern should be how YOU spend your time, and not third parties, especially largely anonymous third parties), and in making these attempts, you are using criteria that you are not qualified to use (you cannot fully determine whether something is wrong with you - these things are determined in a conversation with a professional, with input from both sides).
Thanks for this!
