Unfortunately, those are only spinal cord loop reactions and she really did need to hear if you could feel it. That was unacceptable corner cutting.

It's not all their fault, they've been put onto an assembly line and forced to see at least twice as many patients as they can be expected to cope with. Specialists are overbooked the worst.

One of my eye surgeons was like a puff adder with a hangover on the first visit. After the surgery was successful (50-50 chance), she had a complete personality change. That can happen, too.
