I don't understand the animus toward the OP for describing her positive first appointment with a new physician. I did not take the post as directed negatively toward the medical field at all, but perhaps the reality of the world at large.

It is reality that there are a lot people who have had at least one negative experience with doctors.

In fact, I would say that almost everybody has had at least one doctor that didn't "fit" (for lack of a better word) for one reason or another.

That is NOT  "doctor bashing", it's reality.

I respect, highly respect, have tremendous respect, for those who go into the medical profession.

But some individuals, and that is the key words, SOME INDIVIDUALS, in the medical field, leave a lot to be desired.

Does that mean that I think that everyone in the medical field is a jerk?

NO! I do not think that at all.

 But even those who are critical of those who admit that they had at least one bad experience with at least one doctor,  most likely had at least one bad experience with at least one doctor themselves. They just won't admit it.

Doctors are only human.  Some are good and some are bad.   That's not doctor bashing    

I'm sure most people have dealt with a bad doctor at least once - and probably a bad nurse.  😉

@Plaid Pants2 Congratulations on a great doctpr's visit and your great rapport with him. It's hard to relax with a new doctor and to share what you're feeling. I think many of us have had a few bad visits from time to time and I know when I did, I never went back.
