The doctor forgot why this follow-up appointment was originally scheduled because he was more focused on a secondary issue that I was told to mention during the appointment. He almost left without discussing the reason for the follow-up at all, but I stopped him only to be told he wasn't going to help with that issue. This was a waste of time, money, and energy.
