    As I have and will continue to point out, this and forums such as this are not appropriate venues for making diagnoses, and treatment should always be based on at least a presumed diagnosis. I wish patients would learn that there are two essential services to be expected when seeing a doctor.
    1. Diagnosis
    2. Treatment recommendations and prognosis
    It is honestly senseless to come here with a statement of symptoms and the treatment attempts or advice offered by ones doctor(s) and not state what the diagnosis was and how the treatments were expected to address it. Anyone who pays a doctor for service and does come away with a clear knowledge of the two essential pieces of information mentioned above in exchange for that fee has only him/herself to blame. I know of no other service where so many people would willing put up with that sort of non-service and still pay for it. The success of a treatment cannot be guaranteed, but adherence to a standard of care and offering a patient clear information about the results of the examination and thoughts about and justification for treatment are to be expected.
