I'm not too good at playing games with people. With me, what you see is what you get. Either we get along, or we don't...but I certainly do everything I can to make relationships good ones...especially doc/patient relationships. I provide all of the information that I can. Everything. If my history turns off a doc, it is better that it is known as soon as possible. Some people say that you should not shop docs. It gives the impression that you are shopping drugs. Well...I DO shop docs...and med relief...but good docs first. Docs are a dime a dozen. Good and caring ones are fairly rare. It is a human inborn defense against the constant pain and tension that comes through their doors. It is something that builds up in them over time. It is a rarity when a doc can shake off the things that affect him, and not allow it to affect how he reacts to the next patient. I understand all of that...but, I also shop when I get a caloused doc.
