In reply to the discussion: I've had some time to process what happened at yesterday's Dr. appointment [View all]PatSeg

The doctor was so impersonal and cold that I ended up a basket case by the time I left. She just looked at her computer screen to assess who I was, never looking at me or asking me what I wanted. I changed doctors immediately. It worked out well, as the second doctor I chose was very engaging and asked a lot of questions. My son was so impressed that this doctor became their primary physician. Both he and his wife are very happy with him.
I'm pretty sure the original doctor is long gone. I got the impression from the receptionists that a lot of patients had issues with her.

She's not interested in your wellbeing. She doesn't deserve another chance.
