There was a time that some doctors would stop at nothing till they identified what needed to be done to actually help a patient. Based on my experience with the medical system in 1994 when it took 5 doctors 4 weeks to figure out I had a perforated appendix, and this in spite of the fact that I told the first two doctors I thought my appendix was the problem, those days were already long gone then. If your system doesn't fit their test parameters (mine didn't), or if their main objective is doing unnecessary diagnostic procedures (one tried), or if they're not really interested (I had to browbeat the GP to finally get the appropriate treatment), you can just go on suffering and it matters not to them. The doctors and nurses today seem to be a lot of the latter, i.e. you can just go on suffering and it matters not to them.
My father was what they refer to as a very brittle diabetic for a couple decades before he collapsed during exertion. He was in the hospital for over a week before they decided that maybe he'd had a massive stroke. This was in the 90's. The rest of his life was a series of 'little' strokes, each one robbing him of more brain function and mobility. None of them diagnosed for what they were.
Likely what we're seeing today is just the result of a system that was already broken and corrupt back in the 90s, or perhaps already well on its way to functioning as intended.
