[quote=Anonymous]I think what’s striking to me is the palpable stress and misery from my PCP docs compared to the multiple specialists I see for my sick child.

We see a developmental pediatrician, a pediatric neurologist (we’ve actually seen 4-5 of these), a child psychiatrist, and a pediatric cardiologist and geneticist. I’m blown away by how awesome my son’s specialty care team is-they are efficient, responsive, collaborative, and kind.  They seem so much happier than any other docs I deal with.

All I can assume is they can bill way more and have way fewer patients so life isn’t so stressful for them.

I don’t even think I’m that “great” of a patient. My son is very difficult to see. I sometimes feel kinda miserable that I have to deal with doctors so much and feel stressed myself. And our docs are universally even keeled, egoless, and patient with us. It’s shocking to compare it to how I feel when I need to get primary care and I feel like I am treated like a problem (but I’m a fat middle aged woman so I’m sure that’s a factor).[/quote]
