Why I like my doctors and how you can too

Doc Shop in action

I’ve seen the light and after years in health care truly treasure the benefits of actually liking my doctor not just having someone who can call in a prescription for antibiotics on the rare times I need them.

While I work in health care I don’t often find myself at the doctor’s office – at least not for my own care. But what struck me after a recent appointment was just how crucial it is to have a doctor who you can trust to lay all your cards on the table with even while in a flimsy gown with a sheet covering your legs. Would I have rather been getting my nails done than been at the doctor? Of course I would. But having close relationships with my physicians make it where visits are pleasant and even somewhat enjoyable.
