Endocrinologists are the lowest paid specialists, so this field ends up being rife with flunkies who barely made it. What I have experienced here is a complete lack of empathy or desire to follow their hippocratic oath. If I wasn't obliged to go here, I would go *anywhere* else..no matter how far.. to get treated like a human being with a sincere desire to LI E my.life, not suffer through it like I'm doing penance.
