I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, I'm glad to see that doctors are the same the world over. Its sooooo frustrating that drs can make us feel so inadequate, when we live with our bodies daily and they see us once every few months(well in my case 1 in 3 months) I actually stood up to my neuro, and was emphatic about what was wrong with me after seeing him for more than 3 years, this seemed to make our relationship much better. He still insists on saying "oh you are doing well" and I think, Hey come and live with me for a week and see how I'm doing in the real world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry you are going have gone through these things with drs, I still think a dr before he graduates should have to spend a while in hospital being treated for something to see just what we go through, it may help them be a little more compasionate
