I know & you know & we all know the reason "they" will give for this unforgivable thoughtless intrusion: $$$. Time-management/doctor-support/etc. It all comes down to the basic why the person is rendered personless in healthcare: We are the product in so many ways as much as the recipient. We can't be cared about, we can't be individualized, and god forbid that we be handled in any way that lowers profitability.

All health car practitioners aren't the same, of course. Maybe, splitimage, a conversation with your doctor will get you more respectful treatment down the road.

I'm so sorry for what you went through in this encounter.
