Dear OGOPOGO,
Thanks for the very candid and Im sure painful real life experiences you have had.
My heart goes out to you.In my opinion...Doctors are people just like you and I. They have their own lives, apart from their work.
They see so MANY people every week..they become "numb" to the suffering of any one individual patient. Week after week, month after month, year after year..they have the same routine, the same grind.
I am not defending them, as much as I am trying to understand them, just like you. I too have had the common experience of not being able to get the Doc to really hear what I am saying.
In a perfect world...we would each have our own, personal Doctor. He or she could then concentrate totaly on US...24/7
Unfortunately we dont live in such a place...so we do the best we can.
Just some thought.....
Buckeye Fan
