That's nothing new, we were always deferential to authority figures and some doctors were always more than willing to play that part.
Most consultants have the God complex and believe that good manners is not required. They can be very obnoxious ..
I think its an irish thing, we always felt we should genuflect to doctors, priests, even cops ect..where the fact is these prople are paid their wages by us so it should be the other way around!
but it dosent hurt to have some basic manners when dealing with people..There are good doctors and there are bad doctors. Just like in every other profession or business.
I have had good and bad experiences with consultants. I had a relation who was very seriously ill and her consultant had zero bedside manner but was regarded as the best in his field. A member of her family complained and he told her that his job was to get her better not to be her friend. He did get her better. I wouldn't choose a consultant based on their personality. A GP maybe but when it comes to specialists, I only care about how good they are.
even cops
