How to find a Doctor that respects you.
Finding a Doctor that respect you and listen to you is becoming more and more difficult. I have been able to create a somewhat successful process over the years and I want to share it with you. If this can help one of your appointments go a little better than it is all worth it. I lay out each step and how I go about finding the candidates. I then remind you that this is an interview for them. Doctor’s like to act like they are blessing you with their time but you are paying for them. Make sure you find someone who listens and respects you.
Who is Who?
The hospital is its very own ecosystem, filled with unique species that all do differnet things. For example, you have attendings who make the decisions, you have the interns who are learning how to identify a health problem, you have x-ray techs who discover things that are hard to find, and you have nurses who will do everything they can to help you make it through this hard time. It is complicated but once you get an idea of how it works you understand why it is this way.
