I need to add a picture here. And some day, it might happen. But I just have to get this out of my system.
Generally speaking, the more training a medical professional has, the more asinine they become. Pre-meds might be normal. Medical students, less so. Podiatrist, decent chance of a real conversation. Family physician, still human. Specialist? You are walking a very fine line of humanity. Plastic surgeon? Leave your self-respect and expectations of civility in the waiting room. It's the only way you will have them when you leave the office.
The conundrum of the medical world... you can get a nice person who knows a little bit about a lot of things, or an unidentifiable otherworldly product of too-many-years-seeing-people-as-carrying-cases-for-their-specialty-body-part(s) who knows a lot about a little thing (and who does not know enough about anything else to refer you to a different specialist).
I might have exaggerated something.
Might have.
Good luck, friends in pain -- may your path lead you to improvement.
