Definitely, and dealing with malingerers is infuriating.

That being said, when in doubt, I thin that doctors should trust patients (defendants are presumed innocent, patients should be presumed to be sick).

Stiffing the ill to spite possible asshats is a bad societal bargain.

Even if a doctor believes a patient, what are they supposed to do against a disease with no tests and no treatment?

Indeed, why expect any difference between a human doctor and an old-fashioned GOFAI expert system?

Social recognition is better than the gaslighting folks with ME/CFS and other so-called "functional" diseases (with the scare quotes read "we really think you're nuts but won't say it out loud") often have to endure.
