The doctor wanted to prescribe me a medication within the first 60 seconds of walking into the room. She had trouble pulling up my records and could not see my chief complaint or past medical records. The medication she kept pushing to prescribe, I had already been on for 2 years and had bad side effects from. I had to tell her multiple times I did not want to take it and wanted other options. She only asked me two questions during the visit. I had to keep fighting to bring up symptoms that were affecting me. She kept trying to leave and at one point I was speaking to her while she had the door open and was halfway out. After realizing what I was talking about was severe and warranted care, she had to take the time to prescribe me another treatment. I did not feel listened to or examined. She was just rushing to keep moving through patients.
