Doctors and patients have your say
We here at the-doctors.info are offering this page and others like it to the
doctors & patients of the world to freely discuss & gain or share more knowledge
of their findings & experiences in order to help make our communities better. So
feel free to use our section entirely devoted to doctors and patients and start
sharing your thoughts for a better place to live. You can take up an alias or
not, if you agree or disagree with someone else's comment/entry on the page, say
so & tell us why. We just ask that you refrain from performing illegal or
slanderous acts or from using obscene language, the exception being when using a
word that in medical biological terms is not cursing & is being used as it was
initially intended, as a medical/biological term.
We pick our by doctors by going to them on recommendation, if we do not feel
happy with them as my doctor due to fair reasoning based on my acceptance of the
blend of their "bedside" manner, their attitude to the patient as an individual
person, attitude exuded by them as the purpose of their becoming a doctor. Lets
face it Medicine is a fine art, it's the artist & the canvases that have the
problems. A doctor could very well be a doctor for the simple & honest reason to
heal & help in the prevention of illness, which is the noblest reason as well,
however, he may unwittingly exude the attitude he's in it for the money simply
by dealing with many patients (in the eyes of the patient) a little swiftly.
The doctor may just be dealing with the patient in a efficient manner based on
their symptoms, or need, leaving valuable time for the patients that require
more time, & reducing the seemingly never-ending waiting times. But sometimes a
Doctor & Patient just do not belong together, sometimes it is the doctor who
picks up on this, sometimes the patient. Whichever the case don't suffer through
it, discuss your feelings on the matter & derive a result that should end bad
reporting on either side. Example. if the doctor senses the conflict, such as
the patient seems to continually ignore or reject advice given by them, however
do not seem to ignore other doctors, maybe they could suggest referring the
patient to another doctor that they feel may be more compatible to the patient.
Doctors are as individual as their patients, & it is this very reason why some
pair ups, though they may not seem it are the best for the situation simply
because the doctor & patient each respect the other is not like anyone else they
know & the doctor treats the patients needs based on this & the knowledge they
have gained on the individuality of the patient; eg. the patient is one of those
rare individuals with an extremely unusual subconscious that once the medical
condition or injury is positively identified the patient either heals or gets
better at seemingly record speed for their general condition, they come in with
a difficult to diagnose set of symptoms that could be any one of five illnesses,
the doctor respects & know the nature of the uniqueness in this patient so they
send the patient for all tests that would enact the swiftest positive diagnosis.
Result happy doctor, happy patient (though sick).
Bedside manner, though largely important (actually to the point that we have
stopped seeing some very proficient doctors because of it), can actually be
ignored by the patient if they feel the doctor is the best for them in every
other way from understanding & knowledge to concern & respect. We, have in
honesty found very few doctors fit this profile sufficiently to make us
comfortable enough to sit with the idea but we have, normally to find a few
years later that we are once again in the search for a doctor as that one left,
or brought in a policy that we just simply don't believe fair to all involved,
whether or not we know them. Even the doctor with a wonderful "bedside" manner
according to all their patients has lost many of them (including us) by making
one big duff of a policy change that actually negatively affected most of those
very patients they lost due to it. We all know that our various Governments have
set rules & regulations to abide, we all respect this fact, sometimes
begrudgingly, but nonetheless we respect them as fact. But this does not give
anyone the licence to abuse the boundaries offered them by these rules, & trust
us both sides can, but ultimately, one must ask is it worth it.
