Most doctors suck???!
Question: Most doctors suck!?!?!?
Okay, definitely not all doctors suck, my sports medicine doctor is great, but just about every other doctor I've been to has just been plain horrible!.!.!.
You end up sitting in a lobby for an hour because they cram appointments at all times to maximize profits!.!.!.
After chillin for about an hour, you finally get into an office where you wait for another half an hour
After that, some nurse comes in and you are supposed to explain to them what your problem is!. Now I'm not dogging on nurses here, but what exactly qualifies them to hear all of your symptoms and then re-communicate them to the physician (anyone heard of the telephone game!?!?!?) And how is that in any way efficient!? Certainly there is a considerable loss of detail when this occurs!.!.!. shouldn't I be communicating with the doctor directly!?
After that, the doctor finally comes in and doesn't even look you in the eye!. They act more like they are fixing a car than a person!. They quickly try to match your symptoms with a very short list of common things they encounter and then prescribe you something without even bothering to explain to you what exactly is happening!. (I know someone who was misdiagnosed 11 times before finally finding out they had a potentially debilitating disease)
They seem so certain of their quick diagnosis that its the most hubris I've ever seen
Not everybody is some idiot that goes into the doctor without any knowledge of what they may already have or how the human body and certain medications work!.!.!.
After this 5 second ordeal, you try to ask them questions, while each time they take a step closer and closer to the door trying to leave with a very annoyed look on their face because they have a receptionist they have to go skull f*ck!.!.!. which is way more important
If you've been misdiagnosed, improperly treated, or not even helped at all then there is absolutely nothing you can do!.!.!. you gotta pay up
What other industry can people get away with this in!?!?!?
Would you expect a sales representative, attorney, or appliance repairman to act in such a manner!?
They get away with it because health is the most precious thing, and most people will tolerate whatever they can until they are healthy again!.!.!. and not to mention because health insurance companies dictate who you can see half the time
Anyone care to defend these people!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bravo!.!.!.I see you've had the exact same experience with doctors as i have!. I've been misdiagnosed so many times, i no longer trust any doctors!. It's now become a business, and is about the money, not about the care and compassion for a patient!. I'm totally disgusted at the way some doctors treat their patients, it's just not right!. Unfortunately, we the little people, can't do a dam thing about it!. Nice to know i'm not the only one who feels this way tho :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not me!. I have to agree with you!. I have been to some good doctors, and I know not all of them are that way!. But there are some that have definetely treated me the way that you just described, and I only tolerated it because I wanted to get well again and had little money to choose another doctor!. Currently, I have a good doctor who takes his time with me and is very thorough, but you have to look around!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, I'll defend them!.!.!.some of them anyway!. Not ALL doctors fit your description!. That's like saying all people that play whichever sport you play are a bunch of so-and-so's!. You are stereotyping!. Surely we've all spent our fair share of time in waiting rooms and doctor's offices!. It's the nature of the beast!. Doctors are overbooked and overworked just like anyone else in any other business!. I happen to work with some very caring, attentive doctors whose patients rave about them!. Maybe it's because I am small town, but the good ones are out there!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I didn't even read your whole question But would you rather not have any doctor at all, I suggest going to school for 6+years and become a doctor and treat yourself!.

Actually it would seem to me that you've just run into the completely wrong type of doctor and need to find a new one!. I had an old doctor see my son once and tell me he was having an allergic reation to a medicine he'd been on for 6 months!. I IMMEDIATELY switched doctors and found out he had scarlet fever!. If your doctor won't listen or help you find a new one!.
P!.S!. I have a long wait too sometimes, but I found out that this was because (in the case of my clinic) my doctor will see any sick patient that day, no matter their case load!. You should find out if that's the case at your office as that might help you feel a little more comfortable with a longer wait!. Oh and my doctor has stayed late to be sure my children are seen when they are sick, not on the next business day!. Good luck!. Oh and generally rural clinics are more likely to get to know you, for MINOR medical issues I'd see about driving slightly out of town, not further in it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
