What not to do - or how to drive your doctor crazy:

.....Repeat the same question.

.....Ask about a friend's problems during your consultation.

.....Phone at 3 am on a Sunday for a problem which you have had for a week.

Doctors don't like patients who:

.....Throw their money around.

.....Are over-important, and demand to be seen immediately.

.....Are garrulous and beat around the bush.

.....Don't pay for their services

.....Expect doctors to be available at their beck and call 24 hours.

.....Are Mr. (or Ms.) Know-it-alls.

Doctors like patients who:

.....Appreciate the work doctors do

.....Are punctual

.....Respect the doctor's privacy, and his personal life.

.....Are well-informed, and understand what the doctor can - and cannot - do to help them.

.....Report problems early, instead of delaying coming to the doctor.
