Most nurses and NP's have been great in my experience. It's the MD's that leave a lot to be desired (with a few stellar exceptions in my case.)

I had a Dr. back in MA who was also the editor of a well known medical Journal. My T recommended her and she was one of the worst and nastiest Dr.'s I've ever had. She knew I was in therapy, so it's not a leap to assume I have issues. Yet when I sought ways to control my weight in a healthy way, and described being hungry all the time when I know it can't be real, she would condescendingly say I had enough padding to make it through a strict calorie reduction (hello!! ED, you stupid MD)

And then there was the time I put vanilla scented lotion on my body a few hours before my apt (She made me very uncomfortable about my body--anything to make myself feel less gross.) When examining me, she was alarmed and said I had a yeast infection all over my skin! (I was too embarrassed to correct her. And no, it was NOT a yeast infection)

I hate seeing Dr.'s.
