Being treated without tests, in and of itself, is not bad. In fact, that was the rule until recently. MDs are to troubleshoot their patients using the differential diagnosis to rule in and rule out different probable causes. Tests used to be used only when they were the only way to rule in or rule out specific causes that would change the treatment. For medically trained, I am leaving out the bit on morbidity and mortality for simplification.
Covid diagnosis is the opposite of this. People come in for any reason, including a broken arm, and are given the PCR “test” and are diagnosed as having covid based solely upon a “positive” result of this misapplied technique labeled as “test”.
The trouble is, Dr.'s don't know what they don't know. They're often "taught" things which are just wrong. Like vaccines, prevent disease. In reality, they are the catalyst for disease. I've had many nightmarr experiences, and lived in La where Dr.s were supposed to be the best of the best, in this field, or that field. Years ago, I had a reaction to a tree I cut down, ALL Of the Dr.'s said it was an "allergic reaction." It wasn't. Turns out the sap of the tree reacted with sun creatirng a burn, much like a chemical burn phytophotodermatitis. I appealed all of the bills, I was still being required to pay, even though they were wrong, and won my appeal and didn't have to pay. Far too often medicine is the approach of "symptomology." Symptom bad, knock it down. I would prefer any kind of teet (excluding pcr) to a Dr. guessing, or "practicing."
It’s not that testing or not testing are bad, test should only be used for specific purposes and never as stand alone diagnostic tools.
The doctors you saw failed to rule out other causes. I doubt they would have found the true cause of your condition with a test as any test they choose would not likely find the actual cause because they were not thinking in that direction.
The differential diagnosis is similar but more complex to trouble shooting a mechanical problem. You do not completely disassemble an engine to find the cause of strange sound. You rule in or rule out various possible causes using various techniques and diagnostic tests to do so when other methods will not rule in or out a possible cause.
There is no one test or battery of tests that can determine the cause of every ailment.
Testing should be done in conjunction with the medical interview and examination.
