I think this is cool -- https://www.crowdmed.com/ I've become distrustful of specialists over the past few years because you never know for sure which specialist you really need to see based on a suite of symptoms. For example - I suffered for nearly 6 months before a nurse-practitioner finally had the idea of testing for low T; and this after seeing 4 different specialists; with my primary PCP giving up and insisting it was all in my head and trying to shove Xanax on me - and I know many guys here can tell the same story.

A single specialist is going to assume your problem in their area of expertise, but many conditions have symptoms that span multiple disciplines. Celiac Disease for example. I know many people who were not accurately diagnosed for years and truly suffered for it.

A *team* of specialists however, is a different story. I know from experience on my job that problem-solving often works best with a team of people with different each with a different perspective. The problem though with CrowdMed is that it looks as though they have changed their pricing - now you need to buy a monthly plan that you can cancel after 2 months. I don't see a single case option.
 
This sounds like a great idea and maybe they don't have an answer but send you in a direction to find one by making a totally off the wall suggestion.

Exactly. Thinking outside the box - more importantly - asking a lot of questions, "Why this, why that." All too often, due to the way our healthcare system works, you get 5 to 10 minutes with a doctor, not enough time to cover the ground. I know some doctors who go the extra mile and persist - and consult with others. My new PCP is like that, he said he would have sent me to the Mayo or Cleveland Clinic to consult with a team if we had not already figured out the Low T issue.
