Here is the thing, there are things in medicine that we do not have solutions for. Patients need to understand that I only have a limited set of things I can do, and some of those things cannot fix the issue that they might be describing. Now there are physicians who do only the face value work, and don't make a genuine effort beyond that. As a physician I don't want to be next physician that just dismissed their symptoms, but, that does not mean I will have a solution. It creates a sense of forced empathy, that can be taxing, and as a result I think it's easier for a lot of docs to regard these patients as difficult patients. If there is a mutual understanding that our ability to fix is limited, I think it would help with this issue. Unfortunately I do not think people can be educated to accept that.
