How do you find a good caring family doctor. I went today to see my Dr because i have been sick all week fever

I was in intensive care 3 years ago I had double pneumonia. And my Dr was out of town, so i got a Dr I think he was anyway. He wrote me a rx for cough med and no xray becase he said my lungs are clean . Next moring 3am could not even breath. So i do get upset when i get a bad cough. I am not the type that goes just to go see the dr i have to be feeling bad. today when I went he made me feel like I was a complainer how do you make the dr listen. And worst of all lost my voice so could not explain. No I don't smoke.

honey, you talk with your wallet and your feet. if the jerk won't listen to you, there are lots of other doctors.

I think the doctor you seen is an a.ss. Find a new one.

If you want to find a new doctor...ask your friends and co-workers who they see and ask them to rate their doctors. Then pick the doctor that sounds the best to you. (Co-workers' recommendations are especially helpful because they usually have the same insurance as you do, so it's pretty much a guarantee that their doctor will accept your insurance.)

I have a fantastic dr. if you lived near me, I would give you his name. I live in Nevada.
The best way is to talk to family and friends and find out what they think about their dr. and then go to him.
