Fresh datum -
A friend has a so-far undiagnosed (undiagnosable?) ailment, having to do with absorption of nutrients [cause? effect?] / lack of energy, etc.
At first, with one GI-type local specialist: the usual - not look-in-eye, not 'remember' what it was she was in for.. not ask, "so how are you doing? since last [weeks ago] visit". Te$ts. Unrevealing. Etc.
But as the possibilities are winnowed away - not merely via PDR, (the Pharm-Chem industry's Sears catalogue) but various other sources (she does her homework) -- both the AMA-type and a couple alternate folk: are now genuinely Interested. ie Attitude change\ufffd.
(Surely this shouldn't surprise. Face it -- a LOT of 'complaints' devolve to routine diagnoses, then unfollowed directions about diet or other (if.. the AMA-type is old/young enough to even think of 'diet'!) ie boring.
Give someone a prospect of the Unusual.. physics or med, and:
Well???
GO SEE THAT GUY, You Idgit!
