Dealing with your Endocrinologist

I have had rather disappointing experiences with Drs and Endos. In fact, one previous endo was particularly bad, displaying not only callous indifference and apparent incompetence, but actual corruption. We are patients with a chronic condition, we really need to be very selective and critical of the care we are provided. We can't just passively accept mistreatment, we have to stand up for ourselves.
