Good experience

One issues with PA was that from time of meeting her to the end on this consult visit, she was trying to hurry the meeting and leave even in the midst of asking a question, or trying to relax with a new Dr. With a friendly discussion. It seemed that it was only business and impersonal. However, she did discuss the xrays and point out things, whereas other Dr types in my past relied strictly on reports and read from them. No treatment options discussed since there isn't anything really to discuss other than you have old age arthritis.
