Medical professionals today usually belong to some kind of huge medical corporation. Said group often has a policy for their doctors to spend no more than "X" minutes with any one patient so the assembly line can continue spewing out dissatisfied patients. You need to find a doctor who is an independent practitioner (I know, good luck with that). I went to a neurologist a few years back who had her own, private practice. She was originally from Romania and had seen what socialized medicine had done to patient care there.
During my first session with her, she spent an hour and a half with me (you heard me right...90 minutes!), having me do this and that, all the while writing down notes on a yellow legal pad. At the end of our session, she prescribed a couple of meds for my lower back pain that eventually made my life bearable again. How many of you out there have a doctor who really gets to know your real medical history, let alone getting to know you as a person? How can you really treat someone in fifteen minutes? Unfortunately, we have become a nation of socialized medicine, whether we want to admit it or not.

My oncologist stinks! I asked the office if he could let me know the results of my upcoming petscan before I go in for my appt a week later so I don't have to wait but he can't. He will be out of the office after my scan but will be back for my appt. My appt is on a Wednesday in February.
He's never available when I call or send a message with a question on the patient portal.
