I have an interesting history with doctors, starting from when I was younger. From bad backs and fractured ribs to near death, I've done it all. I've had some really great, understanding doctors and I've had lousy, judgemental, sell-out doctors. With a pre-nursing roommate and my frequent visits, I have mixed emotions when it comes to doctors. But I definately agree with the book, "How Doctors Think" on this statement: every doctor is unique for every patient.
The book was decent. I was prompted to read this by a recent judgement call one of my doctors made that skewed her focus in my appointment. It definately opened my eyes to the realities of being a doctor, and how an idea can greatly influence a doctor in dealing with a patient:
"And once you rememove yourself from the patient's story, you no longer are truely a doctor." p. 17
