Translation: “I’m out of my depth here. I don’t know how to help. I would refer you to the right person but I don’t even have a good, professional referral network.”
I still remember the time I was like 17, hiking, and got bit by a tick just over my belt buckle, and a rash started to develop and the doctor was like “it’s a byproduct of an allergy to your belt” and prescribed me steroids. I basically begged for a Lyme disease test. If I didn’t get that test and those meds at the time (after testing positive for lyme), life would be way more fucked up right now
For me it’s more like ‘im out of my depth here. I don’t know how to help. I would refer you to the right person, since there is a good, professional referral system in place in this country. But that would require me to admit I’m out of my depth, which I will never do’.

If your lucky. Often it’s just “I’m too overworked and busy to take you seriously”.
Or “I don’t believe you / think you are exaggerating”.

Lucky the tests worked for you as they are notoriously inaccurate!
