Are Doctors more evil than good?

Doctors make diagnoses based on the info provided to them by the patients. Then, they have to ask the appropriate follow up questions by use of algorithms. If a patient doesn't supply the correct answer to a question by either playing up a symptom or down playing a symptom, it throws everything off and can potentially make the doctor make the wrong diagnosis. Furthermore, it's the patients insurance company that dictates what tests the patient can have. They would rather put the patient through a bunch of piddly little tests wasting the patients and the doctors time and those results will be inconclusive and direct the need for the bigger tests which are tests the doctor wanted to order in the first place. Just b/c patients dont think what the doctor has diagnosed doesn't correspond with their symptoms doesn't hold water with me. There are sooo many symptoms that can be symptoms of numerous ailments and in turn, a patient can be diagnosed with a disease and not have all of the symptoms yet. Doctors arent God even though I've known and worked with a few who thought they are, but doctors are people and they make mistakes, too. Part of having a good doctor is being a good patient. Go to your appointments with a list of ALL medications and supplements you take and the correct dosages and frequency you take them no matter how insignifcant you might think they are. Know what pharmacy you use and have the correct phone & fax number for them, track your blood pressures and glucose levels when you have disease like hypertension or diabetes. Having a list of your allergies to medicines and the reaction you have to them does wonders and keep a running list of procedures, surgeries, major tests and the results along with your vaccination history with you as the medical field is moving towards EMR (electronic medical records) and there are days when such systems go down. We listen to what you say, but when you come in complaining of a specific problem which has a major specific symptom, it's pretty easy for us to start narrowing down possible problems. It doesnt mean we aren't listening to you, we are trying to direct you to answer the questions we have to quickly narrow down what is wrong with you. If you don't like your particular doctor, move on.

I'm just stating facts, not acting like doctors are super heroes with all the answers:

1. They should at least ask questions about the information you give them; I put together all the information that I need to ask them beforehand, and they don't take any time to inform me of what information they even find informative. A patient can't self-diagnosis themselves, they need to know what the doctor should know and shouldn't. All of my experience with doctors shows that they don't even know how to communicate on this necessary level: not just this one doctor, but every doctor I've ever been to, maybe it's a low income doctor problem.

2. They should inform you of why they are taking your blood, why they are giving you tests, and what they think the cause is: none of this information is ever given to me until after the results are back. Until then, I have no information as to what I just went through and why: are you telling me that this doesn't happen on a normal basis?

3. I'm fully aware of the patients responsibilities, perhaps the doctors aren't aware of theirs. They expect the patient to treat themselves without any involvement from them. 4 minutes is hardly an appropriate amount of time to see someone, or am I wrong? Are doctors so magnificent that they can diagnosis a problem in under 4 minutes?

4. People are obviously brainwashed by:
1. Going to Doctors when they have great insurance, so they don't know anything else.
2. The media, which paints this image to the public that doctors do the job because they care about the plights of the patients: perhaps some do, but hardly the majority.

Take care, thanks for the response.
