I feel she had real difficulty understanding my point of view and concerns. I am a goofy 70 year old geezer but I felt she had markedly less empathy than almost every other doctor I've dealt with in my entire life. I deliberately searched out a woman doctor because I think on average they are more understanding. This may be just a generational effect that is disappearing.
