A number of years back it was explain to me that the medical profession works a grid, if you have a problem that falls on the grid, then they swing to action and operate to correct the problem, if operating will alleviate it. If what you have doesn’t land on the grid, then they prescribe pharmaceuticals to deal with the symptoms. I know this because in my teens I had a problem that didn’t exactly fit on the grid, I had reoccurrences of the symptoms periodically into my late 20's, when a emergency room resident got one of his buddies in another department to run an intravenous pyelogram. His buddy show me the x-rays and said this is what normal looks like, and this is what your problem looks like. They eventually determine I had weakness in a conduction vessel, and did surgery to reinforce the wall with a shunt. Problem solved after 10 to 15 years.
