there are as many bad T's as good ones.. just being a T doesn't define them as caring. Geez... i can certainly think of more than one who has a lot to learn about caring

if you had asked me last year i would have said a T "cares" in the same kind of way my rheumatologist does.. or maybe even less. Ask me last month and i would have said he really cares, more than my other health professionals, not like a friend or anything romantic, but not in any sort of cold, distant way either. Ask me today? Today is a bad day to ask... so i will stop there.

i will add one thing tho... any long term relationship.. as casual as a mechanic, results in familiarity and an increase in caring for the other.. do you have people you care about, sincerely, but dont see every day? As little as i am willing to comment on whether my T cares... i do know he thinks about me and he has mentioned it casually. i know he has thought about me and felt some degree of discomfort about a specific interaction from time to time.
