For example, so many people tell me they have arthritis, and when I ask them what type it is, they have no idea. Well it matters a great deal because the treatments differ for different types.

I think that people really need to pay attention to their own diagnoses. They need to ask for specific tests, and they need to really look at the results of those tests themselves rather than just accept what they're told. They might be told that they can't have those tests, but it never hurts to ask for them.
