She did not really listen to my concerns, and I felt like I had been blown off. The severity of symptoms really wasn't listened to, nor was the fact the symptoms are worsening. There wasn't a lot of compassion for the amount of fear and anxiety being brought on by the symptoms. Very little patient input for care plan was sought.
