The relationship between a patient and a doctor is a personal matter. I will not comment on how wonderful several of you had such superb liaison with your oncs and/or surgeons. I work in a large hospital and meet patients and doctors of various kind every single day. Your few positive report will not sway my conclusion as stated earlier. Basically, I like people, all types of people, but I just have so much I can take from those self claimed gods. My own onc is a gentle person, but not a friendly person. He never answers my phone calls or faxes. Even his nurse does not answer my calls, although on their recording, they said all phone calls will be answered before the end of day. The head nurse used to be quite friendly before she was promoted and transferred from the hospital staff. During my onc visit, the onc would rise after exactly five minutes. In protecting my bill of rights, I wrote a list of questions and handed to him as soon as he enters the patient examination room.
