I know EXACTLY what you meant when you meant that asperger type of behavior in that doctor.

I once went to a dermatologist. Let's call him Dr. W. I first went to him 20 years ago for a cyst on my back. He took care of it.

So fast forward to 5 years go (before I ever heard of Aspergers) and I have a small cyst on the left side of my nose. I DON'T LIKE IT THERE. I wanted it OFF!!! So I remembered Dr. W and he is on my insurance plan so I made the appointment.

I go into his room and I immediately recognize him from 20 years ago and he tells me "sit in that chair". (not on the examination table). and I said "Hi there Dr. W, I went to you 20 years ago". No, "oh really, and how are you, how have you been???" NO NOTHING. He just blankly stares at me and says "why are you here"? I said "well, I have this thing on the side of my nose. He just goes over to a gadget (a cauterizing tool). He walks over to me. No preparation, no wiping it with alcohol, no numbing, NO NOTHING!! and he starts slicing the cyst. I said "jeez, what are you doing?" He coldly says "in a few days, it will form a crust and come off". Put this creme on.

He was the oddest doctor I have ever seen in my whole life. Never smiled once, never had any socialization skills. I wonder if he's married or even has friends. I just got out of there and went to another guy the next week.

And yeah, the thing formed a crust, and most of it fell off. But I never will go to him again. I don't like, well how would you categorize these guys???? No personality doctors????? That's him to a tee!!!!

Couldn't wait to get out. And the waiting room was full.

I just don't get it!!!!
