We also need to put them on the spot occasionally just to see how they respond. I’ve found more than once where their response/reaction was a deciding factor in wether I would continue to dr with them. The first cardiologist I saw I asked if he would show me on a model of a heart and arteries (that was on a shelf right behind him)where my issue was. He said sure, and proceeded to draw it out on a piece of scrap paper. Needless to say I didn’t go back. The first oncologist I saw, I asked about results including using non traditional treatments. He scoffed at me and said nothing else. I haven’t been back there either. I have found dr.s since then that were willing to sincerely answer any questions I have had. They are after all working for us and I want to fully trust them. They haven’t always given me a answer that I liked, but I knew I could trust.
