This sounds like good advice for dealing with doctors; don't be discouraged from going back if the initial (and/or subsequent) tests done don't find anything wrong, or if the initial recommendations/treatments don't work:

It is only if we go back that they do the next round of tests when the first ones didn't work. Every consultation should end with 'if this doesn't get better/work, please come back'.
