It's sad that females are often not taken seriously by the medical professionals. You had some very difficult ailments - I'm surprised you were able to figure out a dental filling was responsible for your sinus infection. You've accomplished quite a bit even with the CFS, and you were fortunate to find the right physician. I agree with your assessment of the character traits and persistence versus credentials. When one loses the passion for helping others and solving problems, it makes no sense to remain in a profession for which those traits are absolutely necessary. Unfortunately we have those types everywhere.

Doing unusual work, solving unusual problems, is harder than doing the typical work. It's always only a small proportion of people who pass up an easy path to choose a harder challenge. There's no shame in doing typical work that needs to be done. It's just that when things get weird and especially difficult, we need more than that.
