I'm sorry you had bad experiences. All physicians are different. I believe all patients should take an active role in their healthcare (that includes smoking, diet and exercise). My point is only that sometimes a misappropriate amount of time can be wasted on very very subtle differences and we forget the big picture. Computer diagnostics is the future. I'm on HN for a reason.
