Some of us are desperate for help and most doctors do the bare minimum and we suffer unnecessarily.  [/quote]

I can tell you're one of the patients driving doctors out. So many patients mainly need to see a psychologist, but instead pester their PCPs and specialists.[/quote]

If you are a doctor YOU need to leave the profession and you are harming people who do have health issues and it's not mental health.  [/quote]

Perhaps you should just skip doctors and treat yourself.[/quote]

I've tried as I cannot get quality health care.  Sadly it hasn't worked.[/quote]

Don't give up so easily. It sounds like you shouldn't see doctors anymore. [/quote]

How do you get care when your primary care refuses to help and you need referrals and even when you get them you see residents who know nothing. [/quote]

Clearly you know better than they do so you should treat yourself.[/quote]

If I could, I would have, which is why I need good experienced doctors.  The doctors, that I schedule appointments with hide in their office never to be seen.  You get to see a tech or nurse and a resident (who spends 5 minutes with you and then regurgitates things to the doctor which aren't the real concern and come back saying you are fine or a basic medication without testing).  You really think that is quality medicine?[/quote]

Why are you still going to large academic institutions then? Go to a private practice. [/quote]

DP. If you have something unusual, that's where the best doctors will be.[/quote]
