Hello SoSick:

Yes, in general I agree. Most doctors see a lot of patients, and probably must get tired of dealing with it. But I think it is a bell shaped curve here. Some care more than others, and many (some? a few?) have a sincere desire to help people.

There are always exceptions, my latest doctor seems quite caring and helpful and knows about mercury poisoning. In fact, my old doctor was quite caring too, but he did not have a clue on mercury poisoning. Of course, I have been lucky, but I have liked my doctors, and I would not stay with one long if I did not like them.
