That is very true and sadly my own experience. I find it very frustrating that doctors have that mentality because it really is self-defeating in a way... why study all that time and become a doctor if you are going to have that kind of attitude to your work? However, I do know that it is the prevailing trend amongst the medical profession and I doubt there is much that will ever change it - which is unfortunate.

I am definitely considering paying for my treatments/investigations ASAP because I feel I will be taken better care of and have more treatment options accessible to me. It will take most of my money, but then if I could get my health better I could make more money and feel better about myself.
