I feel like I wasn't really listened to with many of my concerns. Yes I need to lose weight and eat better, but I hear that as a woman at every appointment for every doctor. There are reasons why I'm struggling with that. It feels like she used to spend good time with me and listen but now it's all a rush. Lose weight and do this bloodwork, out the door. If that's what I hear every visit, I may as well stop coming.
