Doctor rant v1.0

Modern medicine, though very expensive, has shown to me nothing more than shoddy practices and a hurry to vacate the vicinity of any of those needing treatment. The last few instances of my visits with one of these hurried beasts leaves me frustrated, confused, and longing for knowledge on why a particular part of me is acting not as it should.

Do tell...

Today I had 2 doctors visits and I gave them both the same list of symptoms. The first was the psychiatrist, who said it didn't sound like any of my medications, but something more serious pertaining to the diet my other doctor just put me on. I went to the second doctor, a general practice physician, who left me to convene with her superior to discuss this as she had no clue. She came back and told me it's the medication my psychiatrist just prescribed for me.

All in all, I'm left with a shot in one arm, blood drawn from the other, and a renewal prescription for the afore mentioned medication. I'm told doctors wonder why patients won't follow advice or don't come in when they need to. Sometimes you do everything you're supposed to, and still nothing turns out the way you expected. Are doctors getting dumber? If so, that's quite a waste of all that tuition for med school.
