no way am I defending him, no way !! If he did a little more research as in continuing education, he would be more informed. As a general rule, it can be assumed the exceptional doctors are rare.. I for one do not have a high opinion of the avg doctor out there whether they be chiropractors, urologists, psychologists, neurologists, surgeons, dentists, etc, etc. What you came across is the norm... I never implied the norm is ideal, it is not, as in many professions... There is no reason why the urologists cannot be educating themselves.. BUT ....NO ONE IS COMPLAINING TO THE DOCTORS. IF NO ONE COMPLAINS, IT DOES NOT EXIST TO THEM. IF ONE COMPLAINS, HE WILL THINK IT AN STATISTICAL ODDITY. SO THAT IS THE PROBLEM YOU HAD. WE AS SHY BLADDER PEOPLE ON THE WHOLE HAVE DONE A GREAT DISSERVICE TO THE CAUSE BY KEEPING THE CONDITION SECRET. THESE DOCTORS NEED TO GET AN EARFUL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HAVING SHY BLADDER. NEXT TIME YOU VISIT HIM , ASK HIM HOW MANY SHY BLADDER PATIENTS EVER COMPLAINED TO HIM, VOCALLY !! MAKING HIM MISERABLE. IF WE HAVE BEEN MORE VOCAL, THE IGNORANCE WOULD NOT BE AS BAD. MOST UROLOGISTS DON'T KNOW SHY BLADDER BECAUSE THE SHY BLADDER GUYS LIKE YOU AND ME HAVE NOT BEEN VOCAL, WE HAVE BEEN SECRETIVE. ITS GOOD IF MORE SHY BLADDER PEOPLE SPEAK UP, LOUDLY TO THE DOCTORS, SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL NOTICE, THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS.
