I agree that many are caring. Bedside manner for me is less important. Caring in the sense that they care to get to the bottom of an issue is important, of course but I think it is rare. And you are fortunate to have found one. Some are jaded...and let's face it...it's not a great job to be stuck inside a small room all day with sick, miserable and complaining people. I read that if they could start their careers over again, most would not choose to be doctors. There's not the fulfilment in it (prestige yes) that they expected.
So, they may go through the motions and fall back on their standard procedures. Most avoid discussing prevention or management through lifestyle changes. Most often, I find, they grab the prescription pad.
I am lucky. My GP explores different options and drugs are a last resort. My aim is to be off any medication unless absolutely necessary. Lifestyle changes can manage illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, obesity, chronic hives, depression...even in my case a serious case of AFib. It's the good doctors who encourage lifestyle changes rather than resorting to drugs.
