Why It Matters
That gap is why references written with patient voices alongside the medical answers are worth seeking out. A physician can explain a procedure accurately and completely and still leave out the thing you most wanted to know, because it never occurred to them that anyone would wonder about it.

It also does something quieter. Reading another person describe the same worry, in the same words you have been using in your head, makes it feel less like a private failing and more like a normal response to an abnormal situation.
