It is hard to know if you have found a good doctor until after you have been to see him or her
. The best way to determine if you are seeing a good doctor is if he actually takes time to listen to you. These days doctors all over the world have taken on so many patients that they have to rush through their exams to get through with all their patients. This is not fair to us, we need a doctor that cares more about his patients than he does about the amount of money he can make.
Some of them will schedule three or more patients at the same time. There is no way that doctor can take time with each patient to figure out what they need or what their problem is. I personally prefer to find a doctor that has few patients. When you see a doctor with few patients they usually tend to give you their undivided attention and they do not rush through the exam.
They are a very important part of our world. Without them people would be dying all the time with no hope of surviving. Some of them make it their lives mission to save as many people as possible. Although there are still the ones that are strictly in it for the money. They do there best in their eyes but not in ours.
We want a doctor that will take time to get to know us and know our medical history. When you find a good doctor stick with him or her. A doctor that knows your medical history will be more likely to be able to save you if something happens than a doctor that knows nothing about your medical history.
I have had several personal experiences with good ones and bad ones. I have had a doctor almost let me die because of a mistake he made. I have also had doctors find health problems I didn't even know I had and that doctor saved me.
You can usually tell from your first meeting whether the doctor is paying attention to you or trying to rush to get to another patient. If that is the case then find another doctor. Keep looking until you find one you like.
You deserve the best possible treatment available. There is no reason to settle for someone that does not seem to care about your problems when there are plenty of them that do care. I understand that they have a very stressful job and I appreciate all that they do for everyone around the world.
However some doctors need to realize that if they have too many patients then their patients are not getting the treatment they need. Another thing you should know is that a doctors word is not law. If you do not agree with your doctor on something feel free to get another opinion. In fact I encourage you to do just that. Doctors are just people they make mistakes too.
