I've heard countless stories like this of people that didn't find the second doctor and died. Hell, my aunt is going to die next week because doctors dismissed her cancer for a whole year because her pain was just being dramatic. Her bone pain, some of the worst there is. Even after diagnosis with terminal cancer, they withheld pain medication compared to her brother who got all he wanted in the same town. We had to watch her scream until we found a doctor that will listen. For people with rejection sensitivity especially they don't even bother going because the odds that the doctors prescribe modern day "hysteria" are considerably high.
