No, really?
You are saying that.... If a person walks into a Doctor's office/surgery and indicates where they are experiencing pain.
That there is no way for the Doctor to know whether said person is;
Being honest.
Being dishonest.
Being incorrect.
Being delusional?
The Doctor has no way of telling any of these states apart?
You do not know based on their statement that the patient has had headaches since yesterday. The statement could be true, but it is not validated on its own. It's simply what a single person is claiming. Maybe it's true or maybe they just want some pain pills. If you went a told someone, "They've had headaches since yesterday" and you stated it objectively, another person could easily report that the individual is known for trying to dupe doctors to get pain medication. More correctly, you would state "The patient indicated they were experiencing headaches." That puts it on the patient. Why? Because he stated it subjectively and bears the responsibility of the statement independently.
So... are going to answer my question?
Or just keep going with your side of the conversation?
Does the Doctor have any way of telling if the patient is;
Being honest.

Not at work.
