Yep, I hear ya.

I've had 3 excellent neurologists. The first 2 retired, and I've been seeing #3 for quite a few years. The current one took a little getting used to, because he's quiet and shy. Over time we've adjusted to each other. I've learned that I might need to ask questions and to get him to explain more fully the things he's said. After he had me try the meds on his list with no positive results, and doing all the tests he could do, he arranged for me to go to Portland (Oregon), to the university hospital and clinics for several tests that he couldn't perform.

I've had mostly good doctors and therapists. The pain therapist is probably helpful to most of her clients, but after 3 sessions I'd heard enough, and I ended the process after 6. Mental Health therapists for the most part have been a great help to me. The trouble is, there's a rapid turnover because the pay scale is lower than it should be, so since 2006, I've seen on average, one therapist per year. I stopped seeing the last one because we didn't click. I think that basically we're on two different planets. The one before the last one was the best therapist I've had.

So, whatever field of practice, different people will respond well to different doctors. Don't let the poor ones stop you from finding the right one for you.
