      He was very rushed and seemed annoyed right away when I said I had some health questions which he said I should have listed for his nurse ahead of time. How would I know that? He was more focused on typing while I spoke rather than hearing my concerns, and of which he had very little comment. I only see him once a year and expect a little more interest. It was probably the worst appointment I've ever had with any doctor.
