All doctor's aren't like that. Sadly, a great many these days do not listen to their patients. They are in a hurry, know they have to get through everything in fifteen minutes or less, probably haven't had a chance to read your file. They overbook themselves to keep their income up where their profession dictates that it should be and can't do their patients justice. It's a sad situation but not entirely universal yet. My doctor is my age. He's kind, thoughtful, less interested in money than in the practice of medicine and has the gift of listening to what I tell him. Sadly, he will almost certainly retire from practice before I die. I'm hoping he will find me someone else who is almost as good as he is. Look around, ask around. There's a doctor out there. Chance are, he has a waiting list for patients but get on it. It's worth waiting.
