My last M.D. was a quack, too. He made a wrong call (not griping, I understand differential diagnosis) on my stomach infection, wrote a prescription, then went on vacation. Meanwhile, I did not know this, nor did I know my labs came back with my pathogen identified. I went back to the office only to overhear all that through a closed exam room door. Oh, and they let me make that appointment same-day, knowing he was on vacation.

That doctor is so very fired, and I made sure every patient there knew what happened to me on the way out. I have never been so angry about mistreatment.
