I think I need a new doctor

After having watched doctors do the same thing to both my Grandmother and Grandfather toward the end of their lives, I would say, YES. Find yourself a new doctor, one who will listen to your needs and concerns and take into consideration the big picture and do what's going to be best for you. Perfect example of a similar situation, My grandmother, god rest her soul, had several medical issues the last several years of her life; heart problems, diabetes, kidney failure which required dialysis, etc. Now she didn't just have one Doctor to deal with she was seeing several including one good but very stubborn heart specialist who refused to listen to Grandma, or any of my other family members who tried to speak up on her behalf. For months every couple weeks at best, we'd end up rushing my grandmother to the emergency room because her heart would race, she'd get faint, etc and every time they would give her a medication (its name escapes me right now) and it would settle things right back down to where they should be, and for months my Grandma and other family members who attended these specialist appointments with her requested she be prescribed this same medication instead of what she was on. Finally on probably our twentieth trip to the Emergency room the Emergency room Doctor stepped in and pushed the specialist to change the medicine, and guess what, no more trips to the ER for that reason for seven years after that change was made. That Doctor instead of doing what any logical human being who took the time to listen and look at the situation would have done just kept doing what she felt was right. She preached about what she thought was right to the point she upset many of my family members because she refused to look at any other options regardless of the consequences. It's pretty bad when all the local EMTs know you and your entire family by name... Anyway, I hope you get this straightened out and find a Doctor that's willing to listen and work with you to find the proper solution to whatever may ail you.

Most docotors today are there for the money. They are not dedicated at all. Commercialaisation is the order of the day and that combined with the kind of attitude that your doctor displays can spell disaster for patients.Hope you will be able to sort this out in the best way possible.

Doctors no longer have good bedside manners. They rarely listen and they are more interested in getting you out the door and getting to the next number in line. Good luck at finding a new doctor.

Oh, I hate that! My kids old pediatrician was like that - he wouldn't listen to me and would constantly interrupt while shaking his head as if what I just said was ridiculous. He went by the book and wouldn't even hear me out about what I've heard or read. It was time for a new doctor - and I'm glad we switched. Definitely seek out another doctor - you don't want a doctor to cause you more stress! Tell 'em SmilePie said so - ha ha!
