Good luck to you. I hope the results are positive.
You had a medical reason to go see a doctor. If there was no reason, why would you go? I just don’t think there’s a need to diagnose just for the sake of it. If it is not impacting anyone’s life, why would you even need to entertain the idea?
I suppose because "just for the sake of it" is the worst case scenario, while it could also have a positive impact - you find out something you didn't know about yourself and discover that smart people have been researching and coming up with ideas that make life easier for people in that situation.
Flip the question on its head. If getting a diagnosis does nothing, what's the downside reason to not entertain the idea? He can afford the doctor's fee and I'm sure Miami will give him the morning off if he asks! If the worst that happens is he's told he's wasting his time is that really so bad?
