Thank you to a reader on the combox of my post, “You Really Hate Me?” who wrote:

It might be worth considering that there are sensitive, hard working sincere, prone to depression, physicians who look to your blog for encouragement and have felt somewhat assaulted lately by your generalizations about the medical profession.

You made me think. I do owe sensitive physicians who struggle with depression an apology. In a few of my recent posts, I made the mistake of lumping all doctors together. I guess I was venting because the last two months have been incredibly frustrating with regard to my health. I’ve come away from my visits feeling put down and irritated, as the physicians didn’t respond to my concerns.
That’s not to say that there aren’t wonderful doctors out there. Dr. Smith is certainly one and other physicians I work with. I suppose I just have run into a few lately who aren’t capable of listening to the patient.
So if there are any sensitive doctors out there who were offended by my remarks, I apologize.
