Whatever you would like it to mean!! Reminds me of one of the catch-phrases where I used to work: "Can I disturb you?"

Leslie, I really sympathize with your frustration. I truly believe that medicine is about 90% opinion and 10% hard science. It’s hard enough to present yourself for inspection and prodding, then when you feel like he didn’t hear you, it’s even worse. I fall into the trap of feeling like my complaints aren’t real or legitimate unless the doctor says they are. One thing I have done for about 4 years is to type up a detailed account of what is going on for every doctor visit. It accomplishes a lot of things: 1)it allows me to think through my symptoms and organize my thoughts 2) I don’t have to remember everything and don’t get intimidated and decide not to bring something up 3)it becomes part of my chart and gives me a voice – it is what I am actually experiencing, not the doctor’s perspective on what I’m feeling 4) the doctor can listen to me instead of writing everything down, so he/she actually has more time to deal with the issues 5)it is harder for the doctor to ignore my concerns when it is in writing. The good doctors love it – in fact my primary care has started making her parents do the same thing when they go to their doctors! Almost every doctor sincerely thanks me for doing it. Maybe giving it a try would make you feel that your appointments are more productive? Hope you get answers and good care!

To get attention stomp on Dr’s foot. Then tell him to repeat slowly – no better yet make him write out all explainations. Don’t leave office until this is done. Just my angry 2c. — Most of the worlds great discoveries are made with a cry, not of "Eureka!" but "That’s funny".

Response:
I do that – apparently he can’t read either! My PCP does recognize the fact that he so seldom sees me that when I call – he listens. As for the BP meds…. another point of confusion for me – I was on Rx, but it definitely needed changing…. I was also po’ed at last visit when he asked did I want pain meds and then noticed I was on one and said to call and get the dosage changed ….. I have no quibbles with speaking my mind – - when I can find it, although I hate confrontations – if asked a direct question I will give a pint blank answer. (The last doctors office who called me inquiring about a follow-up was told that I would not return because I thought he was an idiot (glad they didn’t ask my hubby, he was ready to strangle that guy) I’ve told off more than one dentist/doctor/ whoever that I felt were taking advantage of me. Anyway – thanks for all your support, it really helps (as you know or you would not be here) and I just need to get my head out of that dark place and pay attention…..

I’ve let docs take advantage of my gentle nature (no, seriously!) But when I’m nervous about confronting them, I look angry apparently (I wouldn’t know but so I’m told) so I scared one doctor one time. She’d already given me a ridiculous psych diagnosis (she was a PA). I had insisted on standing while talking to her so that I would not feel trampled. My husband was with me and he said he’d never seen a doctor afraid like that… I was just stressed and nervous – I wasn’t really all that angry… until I got out the door and saw the diagnosis… oh well.

my mom was with us.. she was furious and crying and wanted to go back in and give the doc a piece of her mind. Ron guided us both to the car in his usual calm manner. Unfortunately, this means somewhere in my records I am defined as psychotic. >I can’t imagine you terrorizing a doc or a PA or >for that matter a field mouse!
Just Ron and B*tthead. I harrass them endlessly but they know it’s with love. Field mice get more respect from me. [1] >I think that PA had her own problems!!
she was young (too young IMO) and though she did just about every test one can do to look for autoimmune problems, those that were positive were low enough for her to blow off. Since I had gone through a major depression she just took it from there. But she went too far. As a PA, she had no business diagnosing a mental illness. But I wasn’t smart enough at the time to see a psych and take the requisite tests to prove that this was not "in my head".
