<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 4500979, member: 93422"]Funny thing is I hear my colleagues sometimes over complicate things or get too technical with their customers. Doctors are human and all have varying levels of talent, knowledge, experience and expertise. Very few are virologists and biologists. They do their best. People expect them to be almost Godlike at times. Some of the best doctors leave a room and use google and webmd to verify their diagnoses. Ive talked to quite a few that still cant wrap their heads around the difference between testing types. I have to slow my cadence waaaay down being sure not to sound condescending and offend them but ensure their brain is digesting what they are hearing. At times over the last week Im more of a bartender and find myself just listening to these men and woman. Some of the doctors are actually scared ....I can hear it. At first, them being scared SCARED me! I find myself trying to find the right time during a consultation to remind them that the vast majority of patients will recover and we are learning tons each day that passes about specific treatment paths that greatly improve outcomes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Medicine has changed alot in 20 years. Believe it or not, "good" doctors really appreciate educated patients that ask good questions. An even a slightly educated patient is usually a more calm one and they honestly appreciate it. Understanding the basics of testing before you get sick (I keep saying this because lord knows once symptoms hit, you tend to freak out and act insane lol ) really will help your practitioner help you. Have sort of a plan and understand what you will want and expect....all with an open mind and lots of humility of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
