Fighting a losing battle. Doctors might not be as bright and sparky as a lot of people nowadays, but people still need them more than most. Thus, although your reach to information is so much shortened and immediate, your comprehension is still not as specific compared to that of a doctor. So, bitch and moan all you like, because all you have is a voice with no carry regarding this battle.

There is more often than not a dire, life threatening need for good medicine practitioners.

@SaulK and this is where my point stands – we no longer consider ourselves “lesser” people. While my Grandfather’s era still think that doctors are a cut above the rest of us. Not anymore!

To quote the movie Juno:

“Doctors are sadists who like to play God and watch lesser people scream.”

Doctors should realise that today’s patients are not of the generation who sat silently and respectfully in front of a demi-god.

Medicine used to be a vocation its now big business. Patients are the consumers who demand the same service and value they would get from any other service provider.

Check out Jay Parkinson MD's site; he is just the kind of doctor that would suit you, but sadly he is in New York. Perhaps this idea should be punted to the current crop of medical students who are more likely to get it than GPs already in practice. Jay also happens to be a kick-arse photographer.
