Just don't find a young doctor...........they don't care and go just by the book. I found that out.

Sorry, I'm going to confuse the doctor issue here.
I disagree with mikaylar about young doctors. I have found that some of my younger doctors are better at listening and communicating than some of my older ones. Some of the older ones have given me the impression that they think they know my body better than I do. One doctor scoffed at me when I offered the results of an MRI that another doctor had ordered. I only offered it because the doctor's own associate suggested in my previous visit that the MRI would be the next step in diagnosis.

Just keep trying to get a good doctor...I think the best way is by word of mouth and online information on the doctor's education and affiliations.
