Pain sometimes occurs with no known cause. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "often."

This is prominent in the experience of doctors, which is what's relevant to how they behave. People who aren't seeing a doctor because they have nothing wrong with them and aren't in pain rarely complain about how the doctor treats them, and have virtually no effect on doctors' worldview.
