You can not usually tell if you have a good doctor until after you see her or him for the first time. The way to know if your doctor is good or not is when you see him if he actually pays attention to you and listens to your problems. It seems more and more lately that doctors are becoming over worked because they are taken in too many patients and they can not handle it. They are rushing through the exams so they can get to the next patient. This is hardly fair, we all need doctors that want to listen and help more than he wants that money from all the patients he has.
There are some that even schedule over three patients in the same time period. When a doctor does that it is impossible for him to give all the patients the time they need to express their problems and for him to diagnosis a problem. Personally I like doctors that have fewer patients. They seem to take time to talk to their patients and get to know them. They do not just rush through an exam.
I know that doctors are important to our world. If we didn’t have them people would die needlessly. There are some docs that make it their goal in life to save lives everyday no matter what. You still have the ones that prefer to make a buck instead of treating patients the way they should be treated. They may even think they are doing nothing wrong but we know they are.
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 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.
When you first meet a doctor you can usually tell from the first time you meet whether you are going to get good treatment from him or not. If he is rushing through your exam and not listening to you because he is concerned with getting to the next patient then find a new doc quickly. You will eventually find the right one for you.
We all deserve the best treatment possible. We should not settle for anyone that does not care about our problems when we can find plenty who do care. I do understand the stress that these docs are under and I am grateful for them but some of them have things a little mixed up.
If they do not realize that having too many patients is keeping them from doing their best then they will never be good at what they do. Also remember that just because your doc says something does not mean you have to listen. You can get another opinion in fact I encourage it. Doctors make mistakes all the time they are only human.
When an individual is ill they should go and consult a physician. There are many different types of doctors who each focus in a specific field of medical practice such as paediatrics, or optometrist practice.
