It goes back a long ways. I have had many oddities, and have
sought professional opinions for some. Each and every time I get
the same answer. "I dont know." They take the money anyways,
even though they are of absolutely no help. They fail to even
serve as a small source of reassurance, instead they just
instill more unease. In contrast, I have found dentists to be
unfailingly competent.  I don't like doctors, either. More than
that, I don't like being a patient. It's so humiliating to be in
a setting that is run entirely for the convenience of others,
especially if I'm sick or in pain, and even more especially when
they act as if I'm not even in the room.  I happen to like my
very own doctor, but it's taken years to train him respond to my
needs. Whenever I have to go to a specialist, I have to start
the training process from scratch with a stranger.  {End of
diatribe}  Trips to the doctors office fucking piss me off! As a
woman I was unaware of the fact that everything has to do with
my menstrual cycle! It
