This is a bit old, but it was so good I had to post it (and it's what we have continuously heard throughout our journey).

I do think that they become insensitive...I know i've had my share of the nasty ones too.

I am currently recruiting for one who actually gives a hoot.  **If you this is YOU, please move to VA and look me up...I pay for 'good' medical services rendered**  

Thank you for this info. PlateletGal.  I'm going to read it now :-)

Great links... many tips on how to communicate effectively with your physician. They also discuss arrogant physicians and it is important for us to realize that physicians who are arrogant, lack self-confidence.

LMAO !!! You know... they (physicians) have had their turn, now it is OUR turn !

What saddens me is that physicians (in the ol' days) used to go to medical school to help people. Now I'm afraid that their primary motive is $$$$$. Of course I'm not referring to all physicians... there are many, many wonderful physicians out there, but there are some bad ones as well. Some of them are even abusive.
