I had a bad experience with a new nurse at a Navy hospital. Maybe it was because I was Army but she brutalized me. Now i do not allow any new doctors work on me unless its vitals. Its silly but i make a point of asking every doctor I don't know who is going to work on me how long they have been doing it. It catches them off guard so they are usually honest.

I also ask for a business card or write their name down so that I don't get an over inflated bill. I had a doctor bill my insurance $650 for looking at my chart at the nurses station. I never met him and he never came in my room. I got that removed.

Be prepared in all aspects.
