True, but doctors also need to, shall we say, take time to smell the roses? They rush through everything, there's no time for them to be thorough. They have a quota of so many patients per hour. It's difficult for them, in turn making each appointment less productive. Then tend to stay focused on one matter at a time because of this. What happened to the days of "Doc Baker" from the TV show Little House? I used to have a doctor like that. He's gone now, and I miss his ways in my current doctors. I have a lot of admiration and respect for doctors. Beauracracy(sp?) is taking control of their and our lives, though, and really raising some H for everyone. Plus, they are overworked and underpaid. Really! Have you ever examined the costs of being a doctor these days? Okay, I'll get off the podium now.
