Montgomery, MD: "Re: A Question for the MD's/was fiancee's recent gyn exam" Good day to all: I was wondering if doctors willingly changed their routines at the request of their patients. In other words, wouldn't the doctor just get ticked at us for asking to change the routine they developed because we are uncomfortable? I have debated asking my doctor for certain things, like talking to me after I'm dressed, but just figured that they might do once, it but resent that I upset the flow of the practice that was set up for the doctor and staff; not changing the way things are done. So I don't ask. I have left gyn's who were downright mean to their patients (not that this is the case here, just my experience), I didn't expect that asking them to reconsider their bedside manner would be taken at all seriously so I looked for someone who had a set-up more compatible with my comfort level and expectations. Do doctor's want or ever appreciate this kind of input? At what point are we considered "difficult" for making such requests? Thanks, -- Mici (hope I'm not being "difficult") At Tue, 19 Jun 2001, D.
