I haven’t had much dealings with the medical profession, but her story didn’t seem wildly implausible to me—I have friends who’ve had a hard time, though not that bad, getting the care they need.
Anyone else care to weigh in on whether her story seemed implausible to them, or plausible but at the low quality medical care end of the spectrum?
From my POV, patients quite commonly have misconceptions about what conditions they have, what lead to their diagnosis, what treatments they’re getting or why and especially why they’re denied treatment. She seems reasonably intelligent and educated, so this is a bit less probable.

By the system I would mean the whole system consisting of communication between doctors and their colleagues and pharmacies, continuity of electronic patient histories, insurances, reimbursements and prescription policies etc. I’m saying that the problem could be in some of those parts, just to be clear.
