Re: Teaching "Compassion" to MDs
      05/19/04 08:56 AM

I recently had to see my pcp due to a severe flare up. By the time I was in the exam room I was in tears....literally. The intake nurse was kind and sympathetic. My pcp didn't even acknowlage I was in tears. He ordered another set of x-rays and gave me some nsaids. 2 weeks prior, his PA had given me 7.5/500, 30 cnt. The PA said he has patients who will be on these meds for life and stated he thought all the fear and wholier than thou attitudes of some drs. were ridiculous. My pcp only gave me a lecture about addiction. Forget that I was in so much pain I was sobbing like a 2 year old.
Thank goodness for OP's!

Just a little story.....
