I curious why this happens, is it because there are two types of patients?

The Duh ~ They look at the doctor slack jawed and say OK to anything and everything.

Questioner ~ They want to know, and have probably read everything online about, what they were tested for, including the quacks. They'll ask why these things didn't come up in the doc's recommendations. So the doctor pulls a TW hoping they'll shut up and let him get on with his/her day.
