The doctors in this article "41 Secrets Your Doctor Would Never Share Until Now" sound like a bunch of a**holes. They should all see the movie "The Doctor" with William Hurt.

Oh. just one more thing....Mr. Farrago, I think you need to get a new career and drop the extreme bitterness you seem to have toward your patients. And actually, even though you don't give your address, I would be happy to search for it and advertise it if I find it. How's that for a "secret?"

I would like to see Reader's Digest do an article on the 41 things patients never tell their doctors....I myself feel I can share some very helpful sentiments as I am a very experienced patient. Since I was only an infant (I am now 37) I have endured many surgeries/procedures (over 20), dealt with countless doctors, gone to several hospitals, dealt with various insurance coverages and seen plenty of serious medical mistakes done to me. I also have some previous medical training.
