Do you now patients like these?
Every doctor knows patients like this. They’re called “brainsuckers.” By the time they come in, they’ve visited many other docs already “” somehow unable to stick with any of them. They have many complaints, which rarely translate to hard findings on any objective tests. They talk a lot. I often wonder, while waiting for them to pause, if there are patients like this in poor, war-torn countries where the need for doctors is more dire.
