    The last 2 appointments felt rushed and he didn’t document my primary complaint (shortness of breath) documented no shortness of breath. When I told him about my new symptoms he said “could be worse”. Yes, obviously I’m not dying of cancer but I am going through something that’s new and shortness of breath is scary to me. He used to be so good and a great listener. I’ve recommended so many people to him. It’s sad to see the shift.
