Default From a doc's point of view

I found this very interesting - from a doc to patients with chronic disease (which certainly applies to anyone on this site).

I have been very fortunate because my primary care physician knows me very well having been my doc for about 20 years - He can take a look at me and know how I'm doing. He is also willing to admit he doesn't know everything and is willing to do research and has been know to call me at home at 10:00 pm to discuss his research with me. I also have a great neuro who isn't threatened when I want to discuss some new treatment and is also willing to research something he doesn't have a lot of knowledge about and give me a call at home. They also work together very well to make sure I get the care I need.

But - I know a lot of you have major problems with your docs so I thought it might be useful to see it from the docs point of view. What do you think?
