"There should be a 'free' consult service available for a first doctor visit so the patient can find out if the doc is willing to lift a finger to help them before any money changes hands or any medical records are transferred. Where else do we have to pay money for less than nothing?"
I just got back from my first visit with my new gyno and he was horrible. He was instantly irritated by the fact that I was not a common and easy diagnosable patient. My symptoms established that he would be in for a challenge and I guess doctors have become to robotic and complacent for a challenge and they just ignore every word you speak.
I feel your pain and frustrations!
