    This was one of the worst interactions I've ever had with an Optum doctor - perhaps the worst. The MD was most concerned about sticking to his schedule, behaving in a way that suggested he was not interested in my concerns, history, discomfort, etc., but wanted to minimize issues to eliminate further investigation. In attempting to rush through a physical exam, he had no awareness or interest in recent interventions I'd had that made his strength testing very painful - and did not adjust his attitude or actions when advised he was causing me pain. First do no harm seems to have been a foreign notion to him.
