docs & communication
Posted on 08/01/09, 01:25 am
most docs have a "I know it all attitude" and make you wait for hours to see him/her then not listen to the patient & rush patient out not giving a damn if everything was covered or believe that the patient just possibly might know their own body. I've fired many docs. I've had about 3 good docs out of at least 20 docs.
they get upset if you're a few min. late but will put you in a little room to wait for them to come in an hour later n see you for 4min 32 seconds, I've had better service from fast food restaurants & auto parts stores.
the doc me n my wife have now gets mad if my wife listens to the specialist surgeon instead of her, she's not even a doc legaly, she's a nurse practitioner. we can't find a doc here who's taking on new patients so were stuck with this lady.!, I could go on for hours talkin about bad experiences with ppl in the med field.
we have to be on the verge of dying before we'll go to a hospitol here in owensboro ky. the wait to get into the 'EMERGENCY' room is usualy 6 to 10 hours unless u go in an ambulance & you still wait about 3 hours after you're on the bed with your EMERGENCY,
for many yrs I avoided the medical field cause of all the BS.
docs insisting I get a 'flu shot', lol it's been quite a few yrs since I had the flu, why should I waste my cash on it? I'm better off buying $25.00 in lottery tickets than payin same price for a shot I don't need, anyways whiskey is a cheaper shot & it works better than the flu shot!
communication with doctors? it's easier talking to a drunk on the street!!!!!!!!

LOL, I hear ya cowboy. I found my latest doc on a "doctors who treat Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain" list. He is in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada and I have to travel an hour and a half each way to see him. I believe he has chronic pain himself, so is much more sympathetic. We are never rushed out the door and he does osteopathic and physio type exercises with me. Our appts usually last 45 mins to an hour. He's the one that says "we'll try one more thing" or "have you heard about?" LOL I hope you can find a doc that will listen and treat you good
