@pearlbaby7 Some doctors believe the M.D. behind their names stand for Master Deity. They do not want anyone to questionthem, nor present another option. I have found that all I can do is explain myself to them, whether they "get it" or not, whether they want to listen or not. Then decide if their service is what I want as part of my care team, or go elsewhere. In the last medical group I was with, my reputation was quickly established, and I sometimes felt defensive to explain myself. But as patients, if we have been listening to our bodies, we know best the symptoms.

@gingerw I laughed out loud when I read your definition of MD. Thank you for that! Since I'm at the end of my vision procedures with just the last laser surgery on my other eye, I'll go back to him for that. He has done a good job as a surgeon -- just a lousy communicator. Thank you again!
