More Thoughts on Doctors

When we visit our favorite doctor, I wonder if it would work better if we could submit our problem in writing ahead of time, to allow the doctor time to analyze the problem. It seems that when we see the doctor and describe our problem, there is typically about 5 minutes for the doctor to respond with a solution. Perhaps this is part of the problem with them just trying for the easiest solution, which is wastefull of both our times, at best, and maybe a little dangerous. Great for a broken arm, but not for something more complex. We shouldn't expect instant answers, nor should the doctors give them!
