I understand completely! I am looking for a new doctor. I went in last week because food is getting stuck painfully in my throat when I eat. I explained how this has been going on for 3 years, but it is getting worse and more frequent. The appointment was only 10mins? And the first 5 was spent re explaining (after telling the nurse in detail) to him that I didn't have strep throat or throat pain except when I ate something and it got stuck. Dang! What a waste of money.
