That's why THIS class was for those special needs docs..the ones that forgot that they're supposed to care. I have been in physician phobia ever since my horrible experience. I've had a crisis of a different nature this week and had to be seen by several docs, and know what?...these physicians have been the most caring individuals. I'm not done yet, but I'm not afraid to go back to be seen by a doctor anymore. too right. That’s why THIS class was for those special needs docs..the ones that forgot that they’re supposed to care.

In their defense, I don't think all docs are assholes by nature. The insurance companies and management groups give them minimum patient/day requirements, and book short exam/appointment times. Most don't get built in lab review time, so that comes before or after hours. The cycle rewards the revolving door, not the patient care. Not that I'm sticking up for them in a blanket statement sort of way. I just think that there's more to it than a lot of jerks who don't care. The whole system is failing the patients.
