Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Ok - I've said it before on other boards, and I'll say it here now - Doctors are here to work for YOU, NOT the other way around. Being that I'm going to get my MD's and actually become a doctor, I feel justified in saying this. If there were no patients, doctors would not have jobs. Period.
If you are unhappy with the way your doctor is treating you - Inform him/her of the fact. Know your states law to the letter about whatever condition it is you suffer from, and let your doctor know that if s/he is not comfortable treating you that you will:
A) Inform your states AMA of the fact
B) Take your business to another doctor who WILL treat you right
C) If you have an HMO or insurance that you will be informing them of the problem with that doctor.
Bring state guidelines with you to your doctor and point out to him that these are facts that BY LAW s/he HAS to adhere to - and if they don't, they could have a malpractice suit coming their way.
I am SO gawd damm'ed sick and tired of doctors treating people this way. All it does is make me strive to get my schooling done, so maybe I can start helping people.
If I can ever help in anyway - maybe by helping to look up state laws - something, anything - let me know. I knwo how you feel when it comes to getting inadequate care, or the "srug seeker" looks.
