The last good, independent physician I had was a fellow who played Chess on the weekends downtown. His practice moved about 5 times while I was a patient and he finally was snapped up by the VA.
He habitually called me "friend" and was very frank about my insurance not paying for stuff I was asking about, which I appreciated. He also once profusely apologized to me for placing a computer in between us. He said the new requirements of his practice made it so he had to pay more attention to the computer than to me, and we were both sad about that.
The doctors I got after that make no such apologies.

It may or may not be true (I suspect some of the stories on that site are made from whole cloth), but it speaks to your post.
