i found my chit chatty MD in the back woods of NH. He is accustomed to dealing with the very elderly, and the drug seekers. I am the young one that is really sick and a challenge to deal with. I dont whine, moan or complain. I try to be cheerful, even when I feel crappy, and I try to not take out my bad day on his staff.

I have been told by the staff that they are surrounded by some drug seeking types that whine, cry and moan about how tough their day is and can you please sign my welfare papers, while coming into their appointment at 10am drunk! so, i guess I am a change of pace for him, and keep his brain muscle moving. He was the one who said "I think you have MS!" And then I called him an ****! and told him to knock it off. so, he was the one who discovered that I am really sick. I am grateful to him for that.

dont get me wrong, I have dealt with the dismissive MD, and I am NOT a happy camper in their office. I am moody, sullen and to the point. I only stay long enough to find a new MD.
