"You Know You Have a Bad Doctor When........"

Over the past 7 years, I have seen some of the best doctors in the country as well as some of the worst!

If you have a chronic illness, you have likely had a negative experience with a doctor. It is just part of the process.

I know that while you were going through the experience it was probably quite painful, but as with most things, time has probably allowed you to see the humor in it. Trust me, I had my fair share of, well let's say, not so pleasant doctors! It took time, but now I can laugh at them.

So give me your best story!

But keep it CLEAN! NO doctors names, addresses or home phone numbers!! Even though it may be tempting!

Here's what you do....

Come up with a catchy title starting with "You Know You Have a Bad Doctor When________________________" and you finish the sentence.

So, if I were sharing my story I would make my title, "You Know You Have a Bad Doctor When His Diagnosis is Improper Use of Listerine." Yup, it's a true story!

Then tell us about your experience! Go into as much or as little detail as you would like. If all you want to do is fill in the blank then do just that!

I will take the top rated responses and compile a top 10 list! So make sure you come back often to rate others responses and comment on each experience that is shared.

This isn't all about being negative if you feel so compelled share your positive experience. Just make sure you change the title to read "You Know You Have A Great Doctor When ____________."
