If anything else they probably just think you are one of those hypochondriac patients. I think I better idea if you want to find out more information (from Doctors anyway) is mentioning you plan on/you are studying med. Seems to work well for me. +if yiu don't feel like your Dr or whatever is giving you good service, just go to a new one and mention why you left the last. I would have to agree with Marztar.

If you get interviewed by a journalist then you're more thoughtful and cautious about wording and phrasing when 'on the record'; primarily so that your words don't get referenced back at you, and bite you in the hassock! :-) On a slightly more cynical note, this may also have something to do with being ‘on record’.
