The doctor was very rushed. She didnt seem to care about me. I felt that she just wanted to put in the orders and leave. It was my first time with her so I was expecting her to want to get to know me and my conditions more. When asked about vitamin levels she just said I cant interpret that for you. At one point she said, “we covered too much today already”, as I wanted to give her a full picture of all that I was experiencing.
