I don't want to be lumped in with every other dumbass patient and have a family history of EDS ignored. Every dollar they waste of mine is money gone from trying to do actual useful things medically. I had already had an x-ray that was clear, it doesn't need to be redone every two years just in case.

I understand your frustration, but this is just an argument for universal healthcare. They have to check, even if you think you know all there is to know.
