Why are some of these people in the medical industry if they appear to dislike and are evidently disgusted by ill people
?!
I was referred for years to "The" Cardiology Group near us, which has several cardiologists. Over the years I saw most of them at one time or another and became more and more shocked and disgusted by their, well I'll put it delicately, "lack of care." The last guy was so incredibly rude and dismissive that he went so far as to argue with me as I described how I felt. He would answer, "No you don't," as I would describe what I thought might be symptoms I was having.
But I had taken my husband with me too that visit because I was really thinking maybe the communications problems were on my side. I was intimidated and bewildered. Really, could they all be lousy? Yes they were and my husband was flabbergasted also.
I think a lot of those lousy doctors are trying to hide their inadequacies behind their displays of arrogance and I have found that rude girls in the front office usually indicate rudeness, or worse, trickling down from the top, the doctor.
If you can, take someone caring and observant with you. Sometimes that will help a doctor to show more attention. But if it doesn't, well, he's probably a real [expletive deleted].
One side point about the cardiologist office I USE to go to: they specialize in pharmaceutical studies. They are FAT CATS. I don't think they really want to cure anyone. That rude cardio really did me a favor in the long run because I took better initiative to research my own medical needs.
I'm writing this quickly and I can't get the spellcheck to work so, my apologies for any misspellings.
