Where I am they also don't do much in the way of diagnostic testing apart from ruling out urgent conditions eg. acute appendicitis or a burst ovarian cyst - they leave tests for non-urgent conditions to other medical specialists.

I just want to agree with this. I had salmonella food poisoning and I was sick for several months before the cause was finally discovered (and only by a stool sample - sorry if that's TMI) and even after it was discovered, I was told there was nothing they could do - that it had to run it's course.
This was before I was told that I was making a big deal out of nothing and countless accusations that I was pregnant and sexually active when in truth I was a VIRGIN. One doctor argued and argued with me....
How do you KNOW for SURE you aren't pregnant?.....Because I'm a VIRGIN.....omg
I wonder, when it comes to therapy....what would be the point in making something up? Perhaps people are in such dire need to feel cared for that this is the only way they can?
