Therapeutic Delay
When a person in an ER waiting room has to wait long enough to be seen, they get frustrated, and realize just how 'not sick' they are and storm out of there, only to call their doctor to get in to be seen, like they should have done in the first place.
The patient with cold symptoms had to wait 2 hours to be seen in the ER, and left after the therapeutic delay cured them.

Electronics Enigma
Hearing an electronics device making an intermittent, repeating sound from somewhere in your house, and not finding either the device or knowing the meaning of the sound.
I was lying in bed awake in the middle of the night, and could not fall back to sleep because of an electronics enigma.
