[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a matter of degree. It’s good to ask doctors questions and get more than one opinion. It’s idiotic to think that Google is providing you with the same expertise as someone with an MD. Every “do your own research” person goes running to the doctor in the end. [/quote]

No one was suggesting internet research IN PLACE OF a medical visit.  Just to help inform it.[/quote]

Hard disagree. If that's the way you feel, please don't seek medical care from a doctor. Ever.[/quote]

Now you are just trolling.  You never read up on the conditions you have?  Or to help you ask the right questions? WTF[/quote]

That's not what the posters in this thread have in mind.[/quote]

but pp said "info to help inform the visit" and response was "HARD DISAGREE"[/quote]

Read the rest of this thread. As any provider will tell you, any patient that says "I know my body" is a red flag. Right up there with someone coming into the ER claiming to have allergies to first-line pain medications.[/quote]

A red flag warning against what? Contempt of doc? Your fragile ego is a liability, and an impediment to good care.[/quote]

Think about who is demonstrating an ego in this thread. And who has years of training and experience versus who has... Google.[/quote]

That you don't understand how you're telling on yourself, on this thread, would be entertaining if it wasn't so dangerous. [/quote]

[b]The contempt for their patients is the most dangerous, imo[/b].[/quote]

+1  That's my number one issue with one of my docs.  Douche elevates my BP as well any time I have to see him.  At least his PA is a complete opposite.[/quote]

Judging from some of the posts on here, all that fancy medical training removes a lot of their humanity. They're too important, think too highly of themselves, and see themselves as above the general public, which is a whole problem in and of itself, and they're too blinded by their own brilliance to see it.

If you've lost respect for the human you're doing business with, you're doing bad business (regardless of industry). If you're doing this while practicing medicine, you're actively causing harm. I'd point out that they swear oaths, but then I think of the cheating posters on this board and...

Lost causes.[/quote]
