you shouldn't have expected your files to be transferred automatically. you need to be proactive about things like that.

I don't know re: apologizing, but I do know that I would not have gone back to him today if I was so disappointed in past experiences.

Jovian recently posted something about doctors along these lines, and here's what I said to that (check comments from others, too):

sometimes it takes multiple tries to find a good match for docs, just like other pros, et al. (slickertalk.com)

I like my pcp to be warmish, but I don't need that from specialists.

it's often up to the patient, in any case, to demand (nicely) what they need - questions asked, info. about specifics, etc. doctors see so many patients, have had so many of the same questions asked, etc., that they sometimes forget we are unique snowflakes who don't already know the answers and such. I always bring an index card with questions to my usually-notsopersonable orthopedic surgeon, especially, lest he get away without my having asked my questions. sometimes, it's a good idea to have 2 cards, one for each of you. the drug thing is very common these days - they don't want to set anyone on a path to possible addiction/dependence. if you can swing doing without, most docs aren't going to offer narcotics or sleep meds on their own.

In response to Jovian: "ST Poll: How would rate me doctor appointment experience?"

Responses:

is there any way to rate a doctor? or to find out about people's past experiences? -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:21 2
- there's a website for that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:21 1
  - there are, but some make you pay beyond number of stars. googling goes a long way these days - message board posts by patients, yelp sometimes, too; - b. Jan 5, 15:36
