Yeah we have something like this in Ontario ("TeleHealth") and from my experience the calls usually end with "Go to the doctor / emergency room" because they're mostly unwilling to tell you "you're fine, it's in your head" unless it's completely obvious.

On the other hand, that kind of presentation can often COMPEL a doctor to prevent discharge, so lots of, uh, problem patients know they can eke out a few extra days if they mention those words to the right person.
