I agree....I think that all up and coming physicians should have to either get sick themselves and need medical attention, or watch the movie (which the name slips my mind now) where the arrogant doctor got really sick and learned first hand what it was like to have compassion and it taught him humility.
Doctors, many of them but not all, lose a lot of humanity I think. They look at patients many times as a "bother" or hypochondriacs. Many things that we are not. Second, third, and fourth opinions should be sought after if you do not feel comfortable with a doctor. I couldn't agree with you more!
