Good Doctors Can Be Hard To Find

By Adriana Noton

You will not know if a doctor is good or not until after you have been to see him. The way you will know if you have a good doctor is if he takes time to examine and listen to what you have to say. Doctors these days no matter where you are have started taken on way too many patients and this means that they must rush through their examinations so they can see the next patient. This is in no way fair to us as patients. We deserve to have a doctor that cares about us more than his money.

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.

When we see a doctor we want one that is going to take enough time to learn our medical history and know who we are. If you find one of these then stick with him. If something happens to you a doc that knows your medical background will be more likely to save your life than a doc that knows nothing about you or your medical background.

I have personally had many experiences with great doctors and ones that were not so great. I almost died because of a mistake a doctor made. I also had a doctor save my life by finding a problem I did not even know about.

Your first meeting with your doctor will tell you whether he is genuinely interested in you or if he is trying to rush to the next patient. If this is what is going on then leave and find another doc. If you keep searching you will find a good one.

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.

I think if they just realized that the more patients they have the less attention they are able to give to each patient. Also remember that when a doctor says something you do not have to agree. If you think he is wrong then go see another doctor for another opinion. I think it best to seek another opinion if you disagree with your doctor.
