my PCP (who also provides all my meds, so knows my SI) has seen the scars and never made a big deal about it. I did have one nurse kinda freak out and say OMG what happened, before it dawned on her what it was. In general, they (the whole office staff) are pretty understanding and don't make an issue of it, unless it's new and then I hear the nurse in the hall reporting to the doctor and he will ask me about it. I always wear long sleeves, but they see when taking my blood pressure...
