By the time they get through med school, and all the other crap they CHOSE to do, most of them just can't stand People. <BR/> They work with whining sick people all day long. People call in for one illness, then the Nurse schedules so much time depending on what was told, then they see the Doc and bring up alot of other ailments which puts the Doc behind on the next sickey. <BR/> Doctors are only human and do have mood swings and personal issues and they whole nine yards just like everyone else.<BR/> That all being said, in my last 3 Visits to 2 different Docs I was treated like I was a number. Not a person but a damn number. The assembly line of people in the waiting room, and then the back exam waiting rooms was difficult for me to handle. The Docs never made eye contact, never really listened to what I said, and gave perscriptions of Antibiotics for everything.<BR/><BR/> Some day we will really need antibiotics for some bug our enemies come up with, or for a plague or whatever, and we will all die becuase our PCP's have exhausted the gambit of them on our colds and flu's which can't be helped anyway. Do I hate the damn Doctors or the government and insurance companies that made them that way.

As a sufferer of viral bronchitis - every year when I get it, I'm always at the hospital with them checking for pneumonia because it seems to react the same way - but my lungs are clear. Funny thing is, the two times I actually had pneumonia, they were out of the blue and in the summertime. Weird huh?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747583945280534950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1162821159158514572006-11-06T08:52:00.000-05:002006-11-06T08:52:00.000-05:00I have yet to find a general practice doctor that ...I have yet to find a general practice doctor that I really like and feel a "connection" with.<BR/><BR/>But I LOVE my OB/GYN!

Here's positive thoughts that you'll get back up on your feet asap. ~~~~~~<BR/><BR/>Last year, I changed docs. I go to a practice that has two doctors. I had been seeing a younger doctor. He was quick with his assessments of me most of the time. I wasn't crazy about that but put up with it until last winter when I became sick with sinus problems. He prescribed me this new medicine that was a one time thing. You drank it all at once. The medicine was expensive and guess what- I became worse instead of better. I was pissed. So, I called the practice for a new appointment and requested to change to the older doctor. He examined me and sat for a while to talk. He listened. He took his time. He gave me sample antibotics - a two week's worth. My sinus problem was over. I've been happy since with my choice in changing. I should have changed much sooner. I guess it took hitting in the pocketbook for me to get it.<BR/><BR/>You are right. I don't want to be herded in. I want to be treated like a person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1162531914621697902006-11-03T00:31:00.000-05:002006-11-03T00:31:00.000-05:00I find that amazing.....nobody likes the dentist! ...I find that amazing.....nobody likes the dentist!
