I agree 100%. More and more my doctors appointments are about 10 minutes long and scheduled for every 3 months. I spend more time with his nurse taking my vitals than I do with them (I have several). Missing are yearly physicals. They don’t do that anymore ( even my PCP.)

They talk over their patients and don’t give you a chance to talk about your health issues. I recently seen my PCP and I told him about my torn aortic aneurysm. He says “yeah yeah yeah. You’re ok” That cuts me off. I have many instances of lightheadedness and dizziness and I want to reduce my weight producing Seroquel. He just smiled and said “I’ll see you in 3 months”. That was the extent of my appointment. “All vitals were good” he said before closing the exam room door.
I spent more time in traffic and with the nurse. If you need opioids then by all means get them. I have nothing against treatment that is effective. No matter what big pharma says.
But the agencies that control medicine have been de-regulated. I’m not going to get into political parties but I have strong opinions on this.
Good luck
