Hi All,
We have members coming here to find LLMD's even though they have been seeing one. For those of you that it is YOUR LLMD that is being mentioned, please do not be offended or feel the need to defend them! There simply is no way one doctor could be "the best" for each and every one of us. I could never get along with a doctor who wouldn't let me be a part of the decision process, but I also need a doctor who will sit and talk with me. If they can't explain why they want me to take a medicine, or do something, then I just won't do it. I'm not their guinea pig to find out how I react to different things. I'm there for help, I'm not their experiment. And if we need to do a little experimenting, then I definitely have to be in on the decision process. But, that's me and I realize that there are many that aren't expecting the same things from their doctors.
I just want to avoid any hurt feelings here. If you don't agree with what others are saying about
your doctor, remember that they are not trying to run that doc down, they are only expressing their issues with said doctor and wishing to see if there are any alternatives out there. We all should have that right.
If you find yourself wanting to defend your doctor, it may be best to just stop and think for a few minutes and maybe not comment on that post. If you have some helpful insights, that would be helpful to post, but if you are only defending them, it's not helping and the OP (original poster) may feel attacked, which is not good for this community.
And remember, we have an ignore button. It can not be used for Moderators, as you need to know if we post to you, but you can use it for other members if you find their posts are upsetting to you.
Thank you all!!!
