Guest guest Posted September 10, 1998 Report Share Posted September 10, 1998 , All, I think 's point is very well taken. We normally have to chase down solutions, and both docs & patients ordinarily don't have much time for pleasantries. so situations are often created for them where they are not treated as human beings. This is especially true in groups, HMOs & institutions. I have always tried to know my doctors a little more as people (but often they don't even have time for this). They are under lots of pressure, & often the pressure dictates the outcomes. As a health care professional, I was usually treated a little more individually. But just asking some cordial questions can be an annoyance to a doctor when he/she is pressured, which is often the case. I am not trying to make excuses for ' " bad medicine' " but it is more human to deal with people rather than stereotypes. The pressured nature of medical care makes this hard.
