Doctors prank: Okay, Frank... He gave me all his info and symptoms about an hour ago... Now you go in and ask in the exact same questions... Then, 45 later, Cheryl, you go in and ask them the same things again! It never gets old!
For any medical issue anymore I find that I have to be proactive and do the research. And I have a great doctor. It’s the specialists that cause me problems. What about the people who do not have the time or access or even know that this is something they should do?
My wife was in the emergency room recently. Over a period of 7 hours, 7 different doctors came in, asked the same questions, and then left. When I told them we were going to leave due to non treatment, they immediately threatened us with invalidation of insurance. While there, she caught a staff infection. Sheesh!

Docs don’t have time for this fol-de-rol anymore. Many times, they don’t even have time to listen to all your symptoms the first time around.

I find that if you have more than one issue they will blow you off and require you come back so they can bill another office visit.

Ask your doctor if getting off your butt is right for you.

Identical to the results of calling Anthem BS/BX with just about any question.

Wow, a lot of cynicism out there.
