I mean, I understand her FAQ about not wanting to read our comments, a lot of the time I skip other people's, (same reason I don't listen to talk radio, they let the public on, and the public is Dumb with a capital D,) but since she seems to be reading them anyways, that kind of doesn't apply...

I can say that because I was that person for several years. Kept going to the same M.D. because I had most of my life. The office staff was rude, I ended up spending the better part of an hour at the office because of bad office management, and the office was just inconveniently located. I finally left after one particularly loathsome encounter with the office staff and never went back. After I left, I looked up a doctor in my insurance network that was convenient to where I work and live. I figured if I had to go to the doctor, I might as well go to one that didn't require me to drive out of my way. I REALLY lucked out. The office staff is pleasant, I usually never wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room and 5 minutes in the examination room, and my doctor LISTENS to me - a lot more than the last one anyway. I think this doctor listens more because he's not an M.D., but a D.O. (doctor of osteopathy). D.O.s are trained to listen first because their whole premise is to treat the actual cause of the symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. Sounds kind of basic, I know, but many of us don't know there are different types of general practitioners and most M.D.s just treat the symptoms - when it doesn't work, you end up going back and they just try something else to alleviate the symptoms. I've come to find out that D.O.s are the types of doctors that usually have labs in their offices and therefore can have you tested right on the spot if you need tests. I've also found that some of my doctor's diagnoses seem odd compared to my symptoms, but they usually turn out to be right. This is because D.O.s are trained to look at the whole body, not just the part that hurts.

It doesn't prevent the flu, but it does stop the flu from developing into bronchitis or pneumonia and other such nasties. If you're usually fit and healthy it is unnecessary to be vaccinated.

I'm in the middle of some painful emotional crap right now, and it didn't work when I tried telling myself it would be okay soon. But that whole, "You can't appreciate spring without winter" section really helped. Thanks.
