You know you have a bad doctor when he hides his mistakes

you know you have a bad oncology doctor when eight months after doing a CT scan to check for Cancer he tells you that you did not do the scan, because if you had done it he would have a copy of the report in your medical files, and continues to insist that you are mistaken in your memory of having done it. When you later send him a copy of the report he then denies that he ever suggested you had not done it. And re enforces this denial with a claim that you are mentally ill. Doctors who have serious problems admitting to mistakes are bad doctors, and dangerous.
