I can't emphasize enough how the patient has to stay on top of their health concerns. Drs are overloaded, they have to get things into the computer. Nothing will be like the old days. But look for knowledge, not demeanor so much my hometown dr had a horrible bedside manner and the nurses hated to deal with him. But he was very smart. My uncle had a dr for years who had a great bedside manner and thought my uncles complaints were hypochondria. He finally went to my dr who diagnosed lupus which is extremely rare in men.
