No, they don't. The primary care doctor in question is assigned by our insurance and is the most garbage doctor I have ever had the misfortune to meet. The doctor is clueless, and knows nothing. The doctor is simply an access master to referrals to our specialists and a requirement for an annual physical for insurance.
The diagnoses have nothing to do with each other, so individual specialists are not or only vaguely aware of other diagnoses.
And I agree, but the reports I've been reading (like that reddit post) seem to be Universal getting caught up in what boxes the OP checked on the form.
My concern about "how it impacts the individual" is that many of the issues they face are SIMILAR to other more common and heavily stigmaed diagnoses that people love to be like "oh that sounds like my cousin have you tried X?"
But just because it seems similar, it is really not. So we have to start with
DAS by being clear that this is a rare genetic mutation disorder, not something you think you may know about because it sounds like other issues.
And so how can I have certainty that a faceless corporation who knows nothing about this rare condition won't also assume it's "like X" and it doesn't meet their criteria (either because of stigma or being uninformed) and I have no human to follow up with (as far as I understand it)?
