Doctor does not want me to talk about medical problems bothering me. As I described problems and pain points anyway, she held up her finger and said I get to talk about one. I did manage to slip in two painful problems. [redacted] This is not a one off, this is a recurring responsive from this doctor. [redacted]

While all my medical questions were addressed and I left feeling confident that the appropriate follow up is being scheduled and my health care is in good hands, i felt the whole time that my doctor is pressed for time and is under pressure to maintain a certain schedule.
