[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me , my patients trust me more.   It probably took me about 6 months into my career before a co-worker was complaining about it.  It never occurred to me that those of another race would face difficulty, especially with the elderly population.  Now it is something I notice and holy crap it is so prevalent.  [/quote]

I trust Indian doctors more than white doctors. They are more studious and take school more seriously. They are less materialistic. [/quote]

Me too, and not just Indian doctors but the first doctor who told me things about a health issue I had that other doctors hadn't caused a definite shift in my thinking. This came back to bite me when I had cellulitis due to MRSA, something that recurred at least 1x a year for about 10 years (3 years free, knock wood), went to urgent care, ME doctor (fantastically handsome and wearing VERY designer suit and shirt, my temp was 102 and my BP was 90/40 so I was in a daze between his good looks and my illness) prescribed an antibiotic that had never been considered during my previous episodes. Looked up some thing when I got home and the drug was from absolutely the wrong class of antibiotics for MRSA so I went back the next day sicker to get the right one. [/quote]
