I thought that the put up and shut up attitude was a thing of the not so distant past. Sometimes I think that some doctors (not all) are on a planet of their own and that we really haven't got anything better to do in our day than trying to find a proper answer or diagnosis to our problems. They seem to forget that people have individual lives and have all sorts of different situations like mobility, family worries or finance to fit around their illnesses. My reaction sometimes is to just not bother to go to a doctor at all but then if something cropped up my family would not be very pleased with me for not going.
