I’m sorry that you also get this reception at a doctor’s office.
I think you are correct in that the doctors are overwhelmed. It seems to be easy to dismiss an old person. I’m “elderly “ but my brain is 35.
I often go in with a list- so I don’t forget- and I want answers before I leave. If there is not enough time they can make another appointment for you.
You need to go to Shands. Could there be any volunteer organizations that could offer transport? Or churches or Senior Centers?
Regarding your regular doctors, they need us with Medicare. If necessary, I would talk to Medicare about any doctor who doesn’t have time to discuss serious issues.
