I have no experience with the US system. I made no mention of public/private, universal health care or not and so on.
Your last sentence (minus the specific country) is exactly what I was talking about. There is no shortage of stories where doctors don't get it right for a million reasons. There is room for improvement.
I know, I read it before commenting.
I'm not saying the article is about the US system. I'm saying the comment I responded to appeared to say that the US system is better, and how those countries with other systems like the UK have it bad.
"Doctors not recognizing X as a real illness" can happen, and has, anywhere. It's not a result of how the medical system is structured with regard to public/private, universal healthcare or not, and so on.
There is no shortage of stories from the US about doctors refusing to take some illness or condition as real that was later proven otherwise (or vise versa), dismissing patient concerns that were later proven, and so on.
