How to deal with Nasty medical professionals when seeking treatment
Date: May 23rd, 2014
For any person who has been ill for a couple of years, chances are high that they have had to deal with some medical professionals who might have been either obnoxious or rude. There is that one or perhaps two doctors who you feel has mistreated you in some way by attending to you either negligently or rudely. When I was young, my mom chose doctors who were to treat her depending on whether they were nice or not. It is no doubt that she wasn’t ready to have a certain doctor treats her in a manner that was unfeeling. We would really understand that but on the other hand, we kept asking her also to consider get the treatment from a competent doctor as well.
How can you tell if physician is competent or not?
It is not easy for a layperson to tell the competence of a certain doctor regardless of how much they would want to be treated by a competent one. Caring, results and follow through also should go together as one package. In addition to this, getting explanations about your condition and the amount of time the doctor takes to explain to you are also very helpful as well. There are so many ways in which a doctor can show if he or she is caring. But after all is said and done, it is always important to keep in mind that as patients, we look up to doctors for help and treatment.
When it comes to occasional incompetent doctors, my policy has always been never to go back to them again. It is no secret that such doctors can really ruin your day, especially when it comes to those doctors who treat you in an uncaring and vague way. Such doctors give a remote impression that you shouldn’t be there and you shouldn’t seek their services. It is for sure that most doctors are not just highly qualified but are also very dedicated as well. But you are also likely to come across a zinger now and them.
What to expect when seeking medical services
A patient is always in a vulnerable situation more often than not and sometimes, you just have to deal with even the nasty doctors who you come across. It is always important to remember that as a patient, you won’t always be able to meet nice doctors because whether you believe it or not, there is always a bad apple. Some doctors are always eager to run your experience in any way they can and they probably think that you like being at the hospital in the first place. The best advice I can give you is never to feel discouraged or something of sort if you don’t get the kind of treatment you expected. Always understand that while some doctors are very good and eager to help you, others for their own reasons tend to feel that you are a bother to them or just wasting their precious time. I wonder what else they could be doing if not treating you.
