Ah Mikayla, you know what we're going to say about the doctor who asked "Why do you ask so many questions?"
There are 3 possible responses -
a quiet smile as you await their reply,
saying "I need to understand what is going on in my body because I have to live in it"
or (my favorite) "Are these poor questions? I really feel like I need more information and I would rather get it from you than from Dr. Google."
Care to give it a try?

PS I had to change primary providers (twice) this year after 20 years with the same person. The first was impressed by my "checklist" of items to cover in our initial consult. The second - back in my original clinic - said "[Original PCP] told me you always have good questions."
