I miss my old pediatrician. His bedside manors were amazing. He was very friendly but not very empathetic. This was good in my opinion, as it kept me from feeling down. I remember one time when I needed a bunch of shots. He was just talking to me and holding my arm while swabbing it with alcohol and before I even knew it he says "we're done, did you know you don't notice things very well when you're talking?".
I tend to trust doctors since I grew up around them, but sometimes you meet one and just say "may I have what's behind door number 2?".
