OBGYN.net is an International undertaking and several British physicians are involved, but none of them are involved in the Forum.

You might make this suggestion to Roberta.speyer@obgyn.net . Roberta is the owner, founder and chief Guru of OBGYN.net.

Most of these situations are just personality clashes as you suggest. There are also some bad docs out there. I am totally amazed over the years at the way patients respond to different physicians. Because every one of these INSENSITIVE, UNCARING, BUMBLING, BOORISH, CLODS out there has a hundred patients who just love ther caring kind sensitive knowledgeable approach to patients. It just goes to prove the old adage: "Diferent strokes for diferent folks".

Could be. Remember physicians are only people, not Gods, like my Mama and I wanted me to be.
