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.

There are even some that will schedule four patients all at the same time. When they do this it is not possible for him to see them all and give them the time and attention they need. I personally try to use a doctor that has very few patients. A doctor that has few patients will take the time to examine you thoroughly and give you all the attention you need without rushing you.

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.

Most people want a doctor that takes the time to get to know who they are and what their medical history is. If you find a great doctor then stay with him. If you have a doctor that knows all of your medical history then he will be more likely to be able to save your life than one that does not know you.

I personally have dealt with good ones and not so good ones. One doctor almost killed me because he made a mistake. Another doctor saved me because he found a problem I didn’t even know existed.

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.

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.
