I can't say I've had that experience with an M.D. when seeking treatment for myself. I feel very lucky to have found my primary care physician. She and the nurses in her office are awesome.

That hasn't been the case at other clinics. I dealt with a really nasty nurse at a walk-in clinic. She was just rude and had a horrible attitude. When I told her I often get light-headed from shots, she didn't even offer to let me sit a few minutes to make sure I was okay. Just sent my on my way. I had to sit for about 30 minutes in my car till the dizziness went away. I never went back to that clinic again.

I've also dealt with some not so great doctors when helping my parents with medical issues. One doctor was so horrible when my dad was in the hospital we tried to get my dad transferred to another hospital. When I went to an appointment with my mom, the doctor basically ignored my mom and talked like she wasn't in the room.

The way I see it, I am paying a clinic/doctor for their services. It's no different than t, or any other business transaction. If I am not satisfied with the service, I find someone else.
