What's the difference between God and doctors?
God doesn't think he's a doctor!
Quoting: tobiafred That's what we used to say about my uncle!
The doc I had for over 30 years retired so I went shopping for a new one. I went to one a friend recommended. Well she had a terrible bedside manner so I dumped her and went on to the next one.
Couldn't believe it when the doc called me, demanding to know why I was requesting the file transfer, telling me I couldn't just dump her. She was hopping mad.
I'm like, you suck as a doctor, your bedside manner is not what i'm looking for and I want a doctor open to alternative medicine, not a pill pusher as she appeared to me to be. Then I told her if she didn't transfer my files, I would file a formal complaint to the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
She transferred the files and now I have a doctor that is wonderful, doesn't push pills and takes the time to discuss alternative medicines as well as pharmeceuticals.
She doesn't recommend flu shots.
Last visit she asked me for advice on raw diet, lol.
If a doctor doesn't fulfill your needs, move on down the road, there are good ones out there.
