Fayeroe,
My experience with physicians over the past 25 plus years is much different than yours.
Have had some great physicians. Emergency medicine is much different than non-emergency medicine. Mostly--primary care physicians and pdocs spend 5 minutes with me so how can they possibly know what's wrong? This happens more often than not.
Nice to hear your ex kept up on the research. Like I said in a previous post, when I ask a doctor if they keep up on the current research, I get a deer-in-the-headlights look. Not all doctors spend their evenings reading the journals.
I've also been told many Pdocs are more likely to have been at the bottom of the class in medical school, so they enter the profession not by choice....although I know some of the brightest choose psychiatry as their first choice and are very good, caring doctors, such as Dr. Bob.
