To use or not to use a polite form with patients

I took my son to see an optimologometrist to get his eyes examined.

He has been short-sighted since infancy.

In the US, we tend to say "nearsighted" instead of "short-sighted", but this is fine for British English.

He has to order new glasses each year anyway because they don’t last any more than a year due to his active life style, so I take him to an annual eye check up around this time of the year.

Though he was not extremely rude, I had an impression that he was just looking at the eyeballs, not peoplethe person.

How to speak to and examine patients appropriately, in terms of etiquette, is taught in medical schools, at least 20 years ago when I studied in a medical school.

In English we have an informal term for this: "bedside manner" (though the patient need not be bedridden). I don't know if they teach it in western medical schools though.

But as is of often the case with an elderly male doctor, the doctor didn’t use the polite form to my sonwith me and mey son.

I am not sure why, but it is more common to say "me and my XYZ" instead of "my XYZ and me." There's nothing wrong with it though.

I don’t like it because I never believe doctors who don’t make an effort to update themselves, even though it is just about social manners, not medical techniques or knowledge.

I would like to keep trying to stay up to dated, as a medical professional and a person living in the society.

Nothing wrong with "stay updated", it's just a bit more common to say "stay up to date."

Also, from the way you wrote it in Japanese I think it would be more accurate to say "I will let this be a lesson and continue to stay up to date as a doctor and member of society." We don't have a perfect idiom to match これを他山の石として, but "let this be a lesson" is often used in the context of learning from mistakes.

To use or not to use athe polite form with patients

I took my son to see an optihalmologist (or optometrist) to get his eyes examined.

Optimologist is a typographical error. You might have meant to say either "opthalmologist" or "optometrist/optician". Here's an easy way to know the difference between the two:

Opthalmologist = eye doctor
Optometrist/Optician = vision doctor
