I also know that they aren't infallible and usually just look for the most likely cause so when I'm told 'hey hypothyroidism runs in the family' and I do a couple hours of research and see that its detected & confirmed by 2 simple blood tests -- I'm pretty sure that I know exactly what the doc is going to say (since I don't have any other symptoms). If I could have confirmed it myself, I would have paid $68 for the blood test and $10 for pills from the vet (since I know what prescription works for others in my family).
We're not talking about a medical mystery here with bizarre symptoms where I could actually benefit from a doctor's expertise. Just a "hey, you ought to see if you have this."
This is so lol on so many levels
