I had an appt for a consultation with gastroenterology dept to determine if I needed an colonoscopy. Prior to my visit I was sent forms to be filled out regarding general info, meds, previous surgeries. I did not see the doctor but a nurse practitioner which was fine.
I have prepared a list of questions and concerns that I wanted to address. First of all all the forms that I took the time to fill out were never even looked at. Most of the questions that the nurse asked me were addressed on the pre-filled out forms, they were never even looked out. When I mention I had questions that I wanted to ask, she asked me if I could do it quickly to wrap it up.
It seems that most doctors/nurses are running late on their apps so they rush us through to make sure they don’t miss lunch etc.
I don’t know how they comprehend anything hat we say as they never stop typing on the computers long enough to listen.
Our Health Care System certainly needs some overhaul…The Insurance Companies have to much power in patients getting quality care….
