Doc's look at it all: Doctors look at all the information, which includes the symptoms reported by the patient, the test results, and what's found on the exam. Just ask the doctor again, on the next visit. One can also get a second opinion to see if matches the current doctor's opinion. That means one should have ppo insurance or better, which allows one to have a larger choice of doctors to go to for a second opinion.
