Every time I go to see my doctor I get about two minutes at the beginning of the appointment to quickly tell her my problem. Then I have to SUFFER through her repetitious blathering bullshit over and over and over till the appointment time is totally used up. She even does that to her receptionist. Either she is totally deaf or thinks what she has to say is so friggen important that she must repeat it over and over again. Fine, give me the diagnosis once. There is no need to use up all my appointment time with your verbal diarrhea. I have often wondered if this was her OCD kicking in. Not sure but if it doesn’t change I am shopping for a new doctor. Here’s hoping she will recognize herself here and if not, her receptionist will, and pass on the tip. Get over yourself lady and let the patient tell you the problem. I am not friggen deaf or stupid. Just tell me once what you think, believe me, I can understand English. —Not Deaf, Not Stupid and Not Daydreaming

Go to ratemds.com and vent there. At least you can get the word out about this doctor so others will think twice. Unlike LTWWB, it is not anonymous and you can see what others have to say about her. I also found this resource useful when I went ‘shopping’ for a new doctor.
Why bother to go to the doctor at all then? Go to webmd and type in your symptoms and wait for the diagnosis, you impatient fucking idiot. It’s the doctors job to ask questions about symptoms that are unknown to you, to eliminate a possible wrong diagnosis.
Drop this nutjob like a hot turd. I had a doctor like that once – thought you could cure anything with exercise – well, guess what – she dropped dead a few months ago at 55 from doing all the ‘right things’. Don’t waste another moment with Dr. Dipstick.
not deaf, but yeah, you are stupid. why are you telling us this for? the doc should be the one getting the earful. what the hell do you expect to do about the doc.? we are here, we have no idea who or what doc you see? and by the way, they DO know more than you, even tho you might think that you DO know it all.
so in future, go to doc, shut the fuck up, listen to her, then you can ask your questions or give her your feedback. NEXT.
I totally agree with this post. My doctor is an idiot as well. I got no problem with the doctor Diagnosing the problem, yeah, they are supposed to have the smarts to do just that. I think the OP is pissed that the doctor keeps reiterating over and over ad nauseum. Like a broken record.
There you go MM go research that last sentence if you can tear yourself away from mama’s apron strings, ok? You asshole.
But it is oh so difficult to find someone who still treats hysteria so vigorously!
Definitely find another doctor, but don’t go to the upstairs clinic in a well-known supermarket in Bayer’s Lake. That woman is one sorry excuse for a “doctor” and gets really pissed off that she doesn’t understand what you’re saying, IN ENGLISH. Also, she’s a nasty bitch. Just sayin’.
I don’t really understand this bitch. Appointment time? You tell the doctor the problem and he/she prescribes a solution or tests to find a solution or refers you to somebody who can. How long does it take to say what the problem is? Two minutes sounds like plenty of time to me and I’d want as thorough diagnosis as possible.
You mean she doesn’t ask questions? You’ve gone several times and she gives you the same answers? I don’t get it.
critterguy, if your doctor told you over and over to lose weight, stop smoking, eat less meat, get out and exercise more like the traditional ‘nagging mother’ does…
you’d get it.
It’s like having the conversations with the crazy old ‘fellers who start a story, come around full circle, and just keep on going ’round and ’round again.
Who the hell wants to hear the same story three times in the run of an hour?
So bloody annoying!
I think the Doctor repeats herself, because her patients aren’t clued in enough to get it the first time. So she says the same thing over and over again (as if to a slow child), so everybody will get it.
I bet you got it. Right?
OP Is your doctor mainly into geriatrics?
I guess I’ve never had a doctor like that Zed. I do know the type of person you’re talking about though. My plumber is like that, luckily I don’t pay him by the hour.
Some folks with low self-esteem repeat themselves because they feel noone is listening because those with a low self-esteem feel noone cares about what they have to say…because those with low self-esteem feel that everyone thinks they are stupid so they repeat themselves to be heard…..But seriously, folks I heard those with low self-esteem feel that people think they’re stupid and don’t want to hear them so those with low self-esteem repeat themselves…. So I’ve been told,anyway.

Okay wogdog, I’ll give it a try. Let’s see, the last sentence was, “Like a broken record.” Hmm, not much to go on here. It sounds like a simile but the referent is not clear. Nope, insufficient information for any research, wogdog. You’ve got to be more forthcoming.
You’re sounding a bit peevish, wogdog. Having trouble with the new clitoris? Come to my office with an accurate description of your difficulties. You can count on me.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
