When you go to a doctor

for check up or for any other reason, who talks more? Is it you, the patient, or the doctor? What is your experience? Do you like yourself talking much, or otherwise?

Well, I do a bit more talking because I answer his questions and my answers are longer than his questions. All in all though we talk back and forth which I really like. I have a really good doctor in my opinion and his bedside manner is better than any other doctor I have ever had. I can ask him questions and he answers them well, in terms I can understand. He makes sure I don't leave with any questions left unanswered.

I had once accompanied my friend, who had a serious migrain and vomitted a few times, to the doctor. Instead of telling us about her condition, he said my friend was in risk of having an appendix (which is totally not the case). period. I'm like..ermm...so how's her condition? what can she do? what kind of medicine will be prescribe to her? I felt like I'm more of a doctor than him, I still had to remind him that my friend is having a serious headache, on the verge of fainting =.=
