Sarah that was great! We provide chronic disease self management for cancer survivors and co-survivors which has a component how to talk to your doctor, this talk may inspire some to do the tango with their doctor! Thanks, I will share with our coalition members and encourage them to view this. Fantastic work! Deb BTW, your hair looked great.
I'm not sure the actual tango at the end was the right way to end this. It seemed to detract from the emotional power that had been built up to that point.
Most automotive shops are built around a simple principal to make money the faster the diagnostic the faster the turnarounds the faster the money coming in an extremely simple concept some problems come in that take diagnostic time they are simply put on the backlog and parked someplace and forgotten till an irate customer comes in screaming and shouting. I once had a doctor leave my exam room in disgust saying let's see what the insurance will pay for it was then I realized that death panels were not a thing of the future they are here and now.
Your last statement is quite extreme but has much truth to it. I consulted 24 doctors for a back injury. It was clear most all had no interest in hearing my story, were only trying as rapidly as possible to see from imaging if they could do disk surgery on me, and if not wanted me gone. No other structure in the back could possibly be injured in their view(they only consider the disk), and any symptom that deviated from their formula simply did not exist. Never in any other situation in my life have I experienced such disconnected and inhuman behavior. The tango is a good metaphor for good communication, but I don’t believe most doctors would even enter into it such a way of relating. A very kind and balanced psychotherapist friend tells me how with new doctors he always expresses to them that he hopes they can have a partnership between his awareness and knowledge of his body and their technical knowledge, and he says their response is dominating and demeaning, saying that they are the one who knows. The 20th doctor I saw, before I said anything and not knowing my story, surprisingly said, “The system is broken. Either we make money or we help patients. I am here to help you.” And he has. He then said, “This is how it works - tell me your story and I will type it into my notes, think about it for a week, and then call you and we’ll discuss it.” I felt like there is a God in heaven. I couldn’t believe he was actually going to think about my case. He did, and as a think-outside-of-the-box Neurologist has helped me understand, treat, and live with the long course of nerve damage I’ve been experiencing. And a DO has helped me understand and treat ligament damage in same region also, and when I told him how so many doctors had ignored and totally dismissed my reported significant pain in the rib cage region, he said, “They take a whole part of the body and pretend it doesn’t exist.” I could go on an on with such stories. One more - A close friend who is a retired primary care doctor retired enraged at his colleagues for their lack of curiosity and compassion regarding problem solving for patients, their overcharging for what they offer, and their lack of social skills. He says most doctors also aren’t even up to date with the latest developments in their own fields. Looking at the profession from more of a distance now, and having been badly treated by other md’s(he also has a back injury, and, yes, I have heard multiple stories of doctors treating other doctors poorly), he says he is ashamed to have even been associated with it, mainstream medicine.
That is not how you pronounce "tangere" There are no soft g sounds in Latin, and since it is 3rd conjugation rather than 2nd the penult should be short and the accent should fall on the antepenult. "Tango" itself is a Latin word meaning 'I touch." I'm not sure why the infinitive was even mentioned.

Thanke you good program

Indeed, the tango was a completely wtf moment
A strange analogy for the patient-doctor relationship but it does makes sense.
