I work with nurses. I hate that profession with a passion-- most of them are catty, incompetent bitches with an extreme sense of unwarranted self-importance who try to steal the spotlight from the MD's that actually do all the tough work. A few good ones here and there, mainly in the ICU or surgery.
Care devolution to NP's and PA's is a catastrophe on a scale few people realize, as well. Thanks insurance companies.

I've actually had very bad experiences with Doctors (all except my asian elbow doc/surgeon)
Almost all that I've met have been extremely short with me, horrible bedside manners, condescending, uncaring, douchebags
When I had the nerve conductor test done for my displaced ulnar nerve the doctor said he didn't want any yelling, swearing, or crying, and I laughed, assuming he was joking. But he stared me deadass in the face, and I just shut up and asked "so is this going to hurt?" And he said "Yes, that's why I said no yelling,swearing, or crying?" with a sarcastic asshole tone. And because I'm polite, I DIDN'T say "hey man, I'm the fucking customer here, so if you electrocute the shit out of me and I happen to hollar out in pain and you don't like it, you can go ahead jump out that 3rd floor window right there". I already HATE being electrocuted, which has happened multiple times as a kid
Then when I had the elbow surgery, my nice elbow dr was reminding me that my hand muscle atrophy was permanent, and I continued to deny it saying "nah, building muscle is what I specialize in, I bet I can build it back". And my Anesthesiologist looked at the elbow doctor, and without a hint of mirth said "wow, looks like Denial isn't just a river in Egypt huh?". And I wanted to say "wow, so you're kind of a cunt, huh?"
And guess what? I DID build the hand muscle back, almost completely all the way. I wanted to go to the Anesthesiologist's practice and say "too bad we didn't make a bet that if I grew the muscle back I could demonstrate it with a backhand slap"
Other times doctors have made me sit on my ass in the patient room for more than 2 hours past my appointment time, only to ignore most of my questions, say they don't know what is going on medically with my symptoms, and charge me $250
F most doctors, man
