[quote=Anonymous] Occasionally, I just plain old don't care about a particular complaint. Some patients think that every symptom they have is life threatening and want an answer for everything. Unfortunate, I have to much too do and many sick patients to see. I don't care about minor things and most people can see a PCP for it. [/quote] This attitude is why you should consider another field. I can understand that minor symptoms don't warrant the same level of scrutiny as more worrisome ones. Obviously. In my view, however, a large part of practicing medicine is educating patients about what they should be concerned about and what they can ignore. If your patients already knew all the answers, they could just come in to have you sign the script. I don't expect my doctor to run down every path over what may be causing my symptom, but I would hope that they "care" it is bothering me. [/quote]
