Why Do Doctors think they know everything , and why do they think we should do what they say..?

And why is it now a days there are no nice Nurses , who have any patients for those who are scared and in pain , they just think you are there for there Drugs , even though you have A VERY SERIOUS ILLNESS. And why are Doctors so mean too. I have not yet meet any nice nurses anymore or Doctors. and trust me I have been through there a lot because of my disease. I Would have to say the nicest Nurse I have ever met or do meet are the male Nurses. Why are they like this . Why did they take this professions if they cant Handel the sick and the scared people. WHY also Tell me A story of when you came in contact with A mean nurse Or Doctor Please I would Like to know , That I'm Not alone.... PLEASE

Not all doctors are bad or good....they aren't created equal either. They are trained at different institutions and they also have different personalities because they are human. I understand your frustrations because I, too have had bad experiences but that hasn't caused me to stereotype all doctors. Without them, the world would be a horrible place. And the reason why we place our trust in them is because of the complex amount of knowledge they have or alteast SHOULD have about the mind and body. Some doctors don't appeal to everyone and that might be because they are burned out from their profession but also their "school" of approach may differ with your desire (i.e. biological, holistic, psychological, etc)....most doctors and nurses work too much because they are not enough of them to help all of our growing populations. But a not so friendly doctor is better than no doctor at all. Read Uninsured in America or check out international health stats and you will be surprised at how fortunate you are to have access to any doctor....

i dunno where you have been, most the nurses i kno are big sweeties and not all docs think they kno everything..... if you don.t like ur nurse- fire him/her, you have the right to do so, same w/ur doc actually.....

How's about one question per post?

After you go to school full-time for about 12 years, maybe you will know everything too.

If you are dealing with government run medicine, then there's your answer.

not all doctors are like that. it would also depend on the hospital, the setting, in which city you are from. there are doctors who help poor patients without any charge. they just do it because they wanted to help other people. especially the ones who could not afford proper health care

This is very true story the reason i feel this is (a personal opinion) the cost of studies for medicine has gone up and doctor is a human being just like others he too has dreams and desires and family just like others and in India he has to shell down minimum of 2 lakes a year as annual Fee's for four year and more for post graduation a person who has studied hard and come through merit has to pay at least rs.15lakes from first year till he finishes post graduation.if he has paid and joined then he would have to spend around 40 to 45 lakes plus 9 years of studies(including pg) so now he has to recover this money through his profession which is quite natural to think so he does behave rudely to patients who have nothing to offer him.his problem does not stop here look at the number of doctors passing every year from medical and dental colleges so the competition is also quite high there are so many clinics coming every month in every corner of the city he is molded into money mindedness and this results in him being rude.i would like to point out that the government is to be blamed for this these are the people who sanction colleges just for the save of making money remember the medical.dental colleges have to bribe the authority to permit them to start a medical or dental college I PERSONALLY BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR THIS SITUATION(THIS IS PURELY MY OPINION)

not everyone has good bedside manners.
Too much stress at work, over worked, under staffed. bad day at home,
try understanding that they have personal lives also, and maybe something is wrong at home.
they go to school to learn, they should have the answers....
when you are as knowledgeable as they are, then you won't need their help....

I agree, I never trust doctors, nurses, or other sorcerers. They have a bad attitude as well. The other day I got a paper cut on my finger and I went to the emergency room. The doctor there wouldn't give me the OxyContin I demanded. What a know it all!

Doctors have a problem with what is called their ego, and that ego is what gets people killed every single day in a hospital.
The worst thing I learned you can do to a doctor, even after 27 years of experience being sick, is tell them what you think you need! That ego will jump and do the opposite.
