djm, that is nuts. Too many times our docs piss us off and dont really listen to us.
They don't think they need to listen, because they are already sure they have the answer before they walk into the examination room. God Complex, it's called.
My father got massive hemorrhaging on the brain because they would not listen to our repeated comments about his declining condition on the prescribed meds WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL. I wish my mother would have sued them for millions. She was well within her right.
In most businesses you'll hear the phrase "the customer is always right". In medicine the attitude is "I am God. You know nothing." Thanks Doc, that was realllly helpful.
