...with little regard for my feelings.

I hate to sound cold, but most doctors don't treat feelings, they treat symptoms. They have precious little time to discuss the fears you might have surrounding a given condition and most aren't that good at reassuring you anyway. Don't get me wrong, some are.

I wish more people understood that it is the insurance industry that has eroded the doctor/patient relationship. They are paid for about 6-7 minutes of face to face time, anything beyond that and they are losing money.
