Yah, but - besides all that there are times when things are blatantly the EXACT oposite of what I made clear I was looking for.
I don't want to get too graphic - but - one perfect example (medical issue). I have always had issues with urinary incontinence. Recently (within the past 5 years) that has turned in to not just a leaking issue, but a retention one as well. Point blank said several times - I don't care about the leaking - that IS "normal" for me and not particularly dangerous. Retention on the other hand is new (NOT normal for me) and could amoung other things cause kidney damage. HOWEVER, the only things that have been tried with that just made the retention worst, and broke other things. AND that was NOT a maybe thing - I looked it up after being highly dissatisfied with it - and all those drugs - that's what they do, it's a known fact. BECAUSE they are DESIGNED to hold urine in (for a leaking issue) - but I said I don't care about that - I want it to drain more fully and eventually ELIMINATE needing to use a catheter - so again - the EXACT opposite I was looking for. ONE of those drugs actually did get more out - but still not enough to not need to cath AT ALL, AND it cause impotence and increased pancreas pain -so that would not do either!
And there are plenty of other similar issues.
Sometimes things even get done non-standard ways because of laws. Like remove a projectile myself wile reading a how-to web-site and no experience at all, using my none-dominate hand, with tools not made for it - all because if I asked an ER to do it - they would have basically forced me to talk to the police - and I WAS NOT going to allow that - so take a chance with dirty tools not meant for it instead - that way, if it comes down to it, they treat an infection, but not the wound itself - and thus avoid that chance....
