Symptoms vs. Reality: Symptoms=interpretations by person who perceives them (within their brain↔mind) & only clues as to what is possibly happening. Better diagnoses (just labels, not necessarily accurate/useful for solutions) also require signs (exam, lab findings, etc.) & time in order to offer reasonable guesses to what might be happening. Medicine not magical; physicians=only detectives. ER bad place for good help.
