Bam. Want to add to that “and the internet”. Patients walk in with all this Wikipedia knowledge and think they know what they have based on the webz. Not. They can’t understand that every patient is different in diagnosis and treatment. A lot of medicine still is so undiscovered but the web makes people think they can self-diagnose.

Just as much so. Totally agree.

The only thing about bedside manner that worries me, and I’m seeing this a lot, is that some of the surgeons I’d trust most with my life are real asshats. And some of the nicest guys in the world are terrible surgeons but get a way with it because the patient “likes” them.  
Tough to find the happy medium.  
My only true personal concern other than the best surgeon (even if he/she is a dick) is to speak Engrish well enough for me to understand what the hell is wrong with me in they’re viewpoint.

Don’t believe the interwebz.
