I had written down all of my symptoms, so I could give a complete picture of what I was currently going through. I started with some background information because I have a very complex health history, all of which is documented at Vanderbilt because treatment took place at Vanderbilt. I did give a bit of background information because it is relevant to the changes I've noticed since various procedures I've had. My narrative was interrupted as he suggested doing a physical exam in the middle of what I was sharing, which I had written down for this appointment, hoping for help with this new pain unlike any I've had in my life. It was approximately 2/3 of a page with spaces between. Had I been allowed to finish instead of being put on the table for a physical exam, I would've been able to give a complete account of all of my symptoms. I never made it to that point because the determination was that I was supposed to be put on a medication and seen in three months. I drove for 3 hours and 20 minutes for this very short, Surface-level, dismissive visit. He would have spoken to me for a total of 10 minutes if I had not asked random questions at the end of his physical exam. I wish I had picked up my piece of paper instead of going along with being swept out of the office. If I had finished sharing my prepared notes and all of my symptoms, I believe he would've had a better idea of the full picture. I am at the point where my quality of life is so low that I need someone to help me deal with the root causes instead of treating a symptom or two with a selected medication at random just because I have already taken others. I don't expect a train professional to go down a list of medications. Definitely not satisfied because I live with this pain every day, and I know it's different from what I dealt with before. I will have to go somewhere else where reputation and word of mouth matter more. You cannot rely on the reputation of an institution anymore if the individual physicians there are not breeding the same reputation after a visit. I visit many doctors regularly, and I know when an office is operating like a conveyor belt. That was the experience I had today.

Doctor was too busy and seems rushed whenever I see him or talk to him. None of the other departments at Vanderbilt make me feel like that. I didn't feel able to adequately ask my questions or discuss my concerns.

The dr was really nice. He listen to my concerns. And took his time with the visit.
