We also have a “someone elses problem” milieu. So the ER’s cant turn away the homeless but they onpy need to “stabilize” them.
Same with you or me really. So things that could be completely resolved with an inpatient stay dont end up with an admission because “cost”. Nothing is definitively “solved” in a timely manner because of managed care.
So thongs are left to stew and get worse (in your case a proper holistic evaluation initially might jave involved exploring your diet vs years and multiple visits to all sorts of docs).
It ends up “costing” more but no one with decision power sees the cost because its spread over time and to different hospitals or communities etc
So the first person to see someone has no incentive to spend the resources to dig deep and then to actually solve the problem.
