When I wrote about my trip to the ER last week, I may have mentioned something about having survived the most traumatic pelvic exam in my life but I also managed to leave out the fact that the doctor who was treating me had ZERO bedside manner.

As I laid on that bed, experiencing the worst moment of my life, you would think this doctor would be a little more sympathetic in what I was going through.

Nope.

Not.

At.

All.

He didn’t care that I was emotional.
He didn’t care that I was in pain.
He didn’t care that I had tears running down my cheeks.

All he cared about was getting in and out of my room as fast as he could.

Never have I been in contact with a doctor like this.
He was rude and cold.

Do they not teach you in med school how to be sympathetic or that bedside manner or lack there of does affect your patients?

Dude, seriously if you are going to be a doctor learn to have some bedside manner!
