Lists 41 secrets of doctors. Here are some examples:
"We're impatient"
They don't like your cell phone to be on
They wear a gown on purpose to intimidate you.
They don't want to be your "mom"
They want you to be responsible for your own health and it frustrates them when patients are irresponsbile
They WILL judge your appearance |
Yes, they DO judge your appearance.... I never dress up for the doctor...I want to look like I feel! People who dress up are often not believed when they then list their symptoms. I know this very well.
I always have bare ankles (they look to see if you have swollen ankles), and I wear easy to remove clothing. That way I don't need a gown...my doctor has learned this so the visit is easier and more efficient.
