What I (non-US) observed:

non-U.S. people when talking about their own medical issues: I have this medical issue, I wonder if I should see a doctor, the cause may be this.

U.S. people when talking about their own medical issues: I had this medical issue, I saw a doctor, and the cause was this.

non-U.S. people when talking about their own divorce: I am thinking about divorcing my wife/husband.

U.S. people when talking about their own divorce: We divorced last week.
