Doctor #1 was very cautious not to over-test or jump to conclusions. However, very slow to reach any either.

Doctor#2 almost killed me! A military doctor who had to look everything up in a manual! Thankfully I only had to endure him until I received a referral!

Doctor #3 was a Godsend! Immediately did a colonoscopy, prescribed an antispasmodic, fiber ect.. took me off caffeine and bc pills and gave me proper diagnosis!

Doctor #4 was an Internist not a GI, but when I told him I knew it was my IBS, and I assured him I'd had the proper tests ect...he was very helpful and took me very seriously.

I echo what others have said. Listen to the patient. Encourage them to listen to their bodies. Don't overmedicate them and try to be understanding.
