I thought dr. Millstein was somewhat brusque and dismissive. I'm a physician and his discussion of my symptom and his thoughts as to the cause with me was on the lay level and moreover I found them to be clinically unlikely. He seemed to be in a hurry - I suspect his schedule is over-booked and he simply doesn't have the appropriate time to dedicate to patients. Hopefully this was just a 'bad day'.
