I am fine with it being documented. I am not fine with the doctor freaking out and running out of the room. It was hard enough to talk about. To have that reaction makes it that much worse the next time. It is like there is something so wrong with me she could not wait to get out of the room. While it was probably that she didn't know what to say, that doesn't make it any easier on the patient. As the clinic I was in was a woman's clinic so the staff (at least that I saw) were all women and the patients were women, this should have been a predictable response. It is hard for me to talk about this in the first place.
