Last time I saw "my" doctor, it was completely evident that since I 
wasn't actually dying, he totally didn't give a ****. I came to see him 
because for the last week I'd left too nausious to eat anything. And he 
said "well if *course* you feel ill if you don't eat anything, you silly 
boy". Given that I was 22 at the time, I didn't really appreciate being 
called a "silly boy".

It turns out there are other doctors who are much more friendly. The guy 
I saw this week was quite cheerful and chatty. And when I told him what 
the problem was, he seemed interested to find out what was wrong. (As 
opposed to "you look fine to me, get lost kid!")
