I saw a case when the doctor chasing the patient out from his clinic just because that patient missed a number since he need to go the toilet. They are not just stupido, they are unethical as well. I pray so hard that I won't be like them. Anyway, a good post telling the truth! As a medical student, I grab tonnes of chances of seeing this kind of situation happen lively in front of my eyes.

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHA! Girl you are so wise and so funny. Love it. I wear a black arm band (to signify the imminent death of reason) every time I have to visit a doctor. Luckily (knock on wood) the necessity to do such has heretofore been blessedly infrequent. Ink on the feet of a pigeon! BWAAAAAAAHAHAHA! Girl you are so wise and so funny. Love it.

New Diva: Ego is not reserved just for doctors or even professionals. I've had gardeners carried around enormous egos! MC: I actually did find a doctor who partnered with me and it was wonderful! Starlily: I just don't understand why some are so quick to prescribe harsh meds. You'd think they'd start out more slowly or gently and work up to the last resort stuff. Suzie: You are so right on about the time factor. They make you wait and then are in a big rush to get you out. Dawn: Hang in there! I hope the ultrasound helps you find answers. Jillian:

It's now my fourth week of taking my daughter back and forth to doctors who just DO NOT listen. Telling the same story over and over... is it her fault that her symptoms are vague and always changing? The bottom line is... her stomach hurts All The Time... that never changes. I am only now getting an appointment for an ultrasound. Tired of the runaround :( Good Post.

Each time I asked questions of my doctor, he would either nod or shake his head. It took me 30 to 45 min. in the waiting room and about 20 minutes in the exam room. It took him a total of 5 minutes to see me. I think it is greed and ego.

The difference between doctors who will and won't listen is enormous. I think I have dealt with some of the worst. Because they have the degree, they won't listen to a word I say, even though I have lived with my body my whole life... I also had the best experience with a doctor once, a naturepath who was just starting out, who sat down for a 20 minute conversation with me where she actually asked questions & listened. Together we solved a difficulty I had been having (panic attacks) where the first 3 doctors had just prescribed harsh medication that didn't work. How frustrating!

I can't believe this patient tried to tell each doctor what he thought was wrong and no one would listen. That is terrible! I've never had a doctor partner with me. I'd love to find one who would.

Most of the doctors I've had the displeasure of dealing with ask me questions and cut me off before I can give them a complete answer. I feel like they barely listen to me. LOL... I'm amazed I'm still alive! OK not really. But yeah, if they would slow down and listen to the patient who knows how many visits and extra medication could be avoided!
