Have you ever been to the doctor's office and heard something from your physician that made you wonder if they actually just said that? It could be poor bedside manner or an inappropriate remark. Perhaps they think of you as more of a friend than as a patient, which honestly is entirely on them. Sure, everyone has experienced moments of casual unprofessionalism, but we really don't want that from our physicians, right?

We already put so much trust in them for their medical advice. To have them reveal too much information, dismiss your concerns, or even pass judgment at your situation will only make an already anxious visit to the doctor's office that much worse. Yet somehow, these kinds of uncomfortable interactions seem to be far more commonplace than we realize.
