This is (or seems to me now to be) an obvious-in-hindsight and I'm sad that I've never (or don't remember having) encountered it; at least not so succinctly.
I'd like to try putting this 'advice' into practice myself, e.g. demanding doctors share relevant base rates but not otherwise avoiding seeing a doctor at all or avoiding diagnostic tests (even if I expect the doctor's subsequent decisions to be bad).
If you're worried about computational complexity, that's OK. It's not something that I mentioned because (surprisingly enough...) this isn't something that any of the doctors discussed. If you like, let's call that a "valid cost" just like the medical risks and financial/time costs of doing tests. The central issue is if it's valid to worry about information causing harmful downstream medical decisions.
