I make an impression by being a demanding patient, menaing I demand that they take the time to explain things to me. I know just enough to ask questions that require more than a monosyllabic reponse. it annoys them, I am sure, but they remember me. I have ended up becoming good reasonably good friends with my last two docotrs, but that is also due to the fact that we live in the same community and so see each other at kids' games, schools, etc.
