I hear you! I've had similar experiences and impressions. Every doctor I see these days behaves as if they're on a tight deadline. Fifteen to twenty minutes is about the most time you can expect to spend with the doctor at an appointment. Most doctors are now part of large, corporate-owned health provider networks, and those corporations are mainly focused on volume and "the bottom line". I think one of the main reasons our country has a shortage of health care providers is that doctors are getting stressed and fed up with the constant pressure to process as many patients as possible per day. I try to prepare myself before a doctor visit by writing down questions I have, but usually end up with some of them unanswered.
