[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who had a child who had to be diagnosed with a rare disease and had subsequent treatment, it is very hard to find a doctor who is a decent listener, which is absolutely the most important skill for diagnosis.  I learned I had to be very aggressive on behalf of my child and basically be a jerk if I felt like the person in front of me was not taking me seriously.  DC is ok but it’s not really thanks to any clinicians unfortunately, except for 1.  [/quote]

Same experience here.  Dozens of doctors who couldn't listen or do a decent hands on examination and only one who could.  Guess who came up with the diagnosis, which actually should not have been that difficult? The VERY worst and most mistaken was a Harvard med school grad.[/quote]

I wonder if the best doctor you had got an A or B in organic chemistry.  I often find that the family members I have who seem better at their jobs are the ones who truly struggled in pre med and medical school.  They seem more compassionate and careful, less arrogant.[/quote]
