The "cheapest diagnosis in the world" framing applies almost line-for-line to the dismissals late-diagnosed people received from psychiatry for decades. The clinician didn't have to disprove the patient's account. The clinician only had to be the one in the room with standing. Brilliant, urgent piece.
