The other 50% of the time the doctor will have no clue what's wrong with you. He isn't a private practitioner after all, and thus knows less.

So, if you're lucky enough not to get shot on orders of the doctor, he'll wing it and give you some pills he ordered online from some third world country. Taking these pills there are three possible outcomes:
1: The pills kill you
2: The pills have no effect and your illness kills you
3: You win the lottery and can go to the US to get some proper health care.

Right, I forgot to mention that socialized medicine means a 93% tax rate and that you're a commie.
