You say it's not about the outcome but the diagnostic journey. Well as a non-medical person I have to say from where I sit is certainly about both of those things and quite impressively about the outcome. My take on "things medical" is that doctors should absolutely have to experience all the tests they order for their patients, at least once, so that they too can experience, IMHO, the best in veterinary care that most tests I have taken seem to emulate. In fact, at times I think I may be envious of dogs treated at Cornell, although I am given to understand that Cornell will only treat the left side of animals due to pre-existing existential bigotry, as they never save the right side of the animal. They also require payment in local currency Ithaca bucks called "hours" as all local comrades do. They also favor uncle Joe, both the original flavor and the geriatric one with the nuclear football. So, there you have it, patient feedback. Keep your bedside manner civil, you treat the person not his politics.
