Mr. Rerun: "Yeah, I didn't think you were that good. But my friend saw you last month, and liked you, so I thought maybe you'd gotten better and came back."

and have you?
The joys of life-long learning. Though can a doctor ever change from being a disaster to being amazing?
I mean, med students do that all the time (I hope), but can doctors?
Think the patient was testing your outlook on life - optimist concentrates on the 'now you're good', while a pessimist concentrates on the 'you used to be rubbish'.
I didn't think Doctors wanted to treat their family members .
I've had patients do this. They never last that long if they come back.
Guess I haven't gotten any better.
Or, the more likely, less sarcastic reason- our personalities don't mesh, and never will.
That's why I tell patients who leave that the door locks on the way out.
"I also got back together with my wife after my friend convinced me that she was better in the sack than I remembered."
The rebound neurologists never seem to work out...
Isn't that why they call it "practicing medicine"? The longer you do it, the better you get.
Went to a doctor I hadn't seen since May 2011. He was in a vile mood and only wanted to give me part of my medicine and said to get another doctor and yet remain primary. You don't need that physician if he/she doesn't take care of your basics needs. Am I wrong?
Unrelated but I cant find anyone to tell me the answer to this. Why do doctors mind it when the patient comes in already knowing the diagnosis? The thing is, we may know what is wrong, but we cant prescribe meds, or give referrals to ourselves. So, is it because doctors think we are being a smart-ass if we know the answer? Oh, and I like your blog, I think its pretty neat to see the other side.
