it helps to be a physician, when you see your physician. It's usually an ice-breaker and trust builder.
Librarians on the other hand are a sketchy bunch. |

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.

It's a particular liability to be a medical librarian, because you know way more terminology than the doctors are comfortable with you knowing.

Would she even know how to treat such a thing? I had an ear infection when I was pregnant and I asked my OB to look in my ears. He didn't even have an otiscope. I ended up asking my son's pediatrician to look. He did, but wouldn't prescribe me anything. I had to call my SIL who is a nurse practitioner in Utah to call in some meds for me.

how hard is it to have a family doctor or an internist? Sheesh.
For the plumbing, see your OB-Gyn. For everything else, see a PCP. |

I barely ever visit my PCP either.
