Long wait followed by inconclusive appointment outcome

I attended an appointment at my local practice. Although I was called in earlier than scheduled, I then experienced a significant wait before being seen. Following the examination, the clinician explained they were not entirely certain about the specific issue and preferred to wait for complete confirmation before proceeding with treatment. I was advised to manage symptoms with over-the-counter pain relief in the meantime. The entire visit consumed several hours when accounting for phone calls, travel, and waiting time, along with an out-of-pocket cost, yet I felt the outcome did not address my needs. I subsequently experienced considerable discomfort for several days. I now face the prospect of repeating the entire process, uncertain whether a definitive diagnosis will lead to the intervention I require. I have reflected on whether private healthcare might have provided a more efficient and cost-effective resolution to my situation.
