I've had a lot of doctors because I've moved a lot. I've had one or two who would fit that description, and I dumped them as soon as I could find a suitable replacement. Most of my doctors have taken side effects seriously and don't fit the stereotypes we throw about about them all "worshiping" pharmaceuticals. My current doctor is of the "try everything else, then drugs if needed" mold. There are plenty of them around, in my experience.
