> Yes, your doctor sounds a little strange to me too. I would feel distrustful about a doctor who started to check private parts of you without even asking. That's very creepy. I'd also be distrustful of a doctor who couldn't even explain why he was getting you to follow a moving finger. It's such a basic test & nothing mysterious about - so why the smile & no answer? It's sounds like he's very condescending & may prove to beless than open later when you wish to know more.

He graduated from college in 1945!! He's old. And he's very stern. I like a casual relationship with my doctor. He asked me if I took a certain antihistimaine, and I was like, "yeah, I think that was it-- are they the yellow ones?"

Well he shot back "I DON'T GO BY COLORS, I GO BY NAMES!" wow. Maybe they didn't teach doctors how to develop rapaporte until 1946, after he graduated. The guy literally scares me in this sense. And he's a cardiologist in specialty. My heart's always fine, so why should I bother? If he does something that twists my neve again, I'm going to another doc.

All I wanted today was some Ambien, and he was like, let's wait until we get the blood results back. As if he's going to formulate a compounded medicine in his office custom-tailored to my DNA that will cure all of my anxiety, ADD and sleep problems. The guy's a sick quack, and if he does anything sketchy like try to undress me without asking, I'm reporting him to the state Board.

I just checked online at my state's board search site, and this guy made 2 malpractice payments over the past 2 years. Granted, he's in cardiology, but still, only 5% of this specialty in my state paid out during this 10 year period. And it's not like he's opening hearts, either, it's just a private office.

I went from having the most non-chalante doctor who will only run an ECG and urine analysis and spend 30 seconds with chest breathing to a perverted old guy who's been sued twice and tries to belittle what I say. Not wise to do when it's your client's first day and they're thinking of keeping you or not, is it?
