    I think he was thorough. He took many tests on me and provided good explanations. However, he would not give me a prescription to a medicine that has improved the quality of my life because of his convictions as a Catholic. I find that unacceptable. I believe my sexual orientation may have hastened his decisions. I cannot have that in my doctor. Also, I asked him several times about getting a prescription for Zepbound. I am a candidate. BMI of 45, hypertension, sleep apnea and prediabetic. He just ignored my request and gave me advice to start a keto like diet, fasting, etc. That's fine I understand but I really need help and Zepbound would help especially for sleep apnea. I'm not sure why he was unresponsive on these things.

    Went in to ask about aura migraine, and he spent the entire appointment looking at 4 year old blood work and berating me for being fat. Talked over me, and every time I circled back or tried to ask something else, he went back to talking about my weight. Dude, I know I'm fat. SOMETIMES IT ISN'T A WEIGHT PROBLEM! Didn't eat for 3 days after the appointment, so thanks for that, jerk.
