Br J Dermatol Syp 51: 5011939 Thanks for this. Are these references at the back of the chapter? If so, they're references he found valuable and/or those he recommends to others for further information, not references that support a specific assertion. After making an unusual statement like his " Misconception #3 " , I would expect Dr. Nase would provide specific data supporting what he's saying. Maybe it's some place else in the book?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 hi adam, a few thoughts... > Basically, my one > pre-requisite that I need to be happy with my > derm is know that he will take > the time to listen to me. Thats it. then stick with this! you've already had the experience of one derm that rushes you through, why subject yourself to the stress of another one? and,in my experience, in almost any line of business, quite often, if the receptionist (or the first line of contact in the place) is rude, dismissive, abrupt or whatever, it is a very good indication of the general tone and attitude of the offce in general. usually this tone is established from the " upper " management. in other words, if the boss has an attitude than it filters down and becomes an acceptable attitude for the rest of the employees. i think if you keep up your search a little longer, and keep in mind your checklist of those qualities in a health practitioner that you find important, you will uncover such a person. good luck, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
