I have mixed feelings regarding my visit. The providers appeared to be very concerned, and it was obvious they were putting in effort to be warm and friendly. I do appreciate that, but I would rather be spoken to in a more serious and direct manner (it is my health after all). I felt like I was 7 years old visiting my pediatrician, and that nothing I had to say carried any weight because I was viewed as a child. It may just be me, but I've never been comfortable _____ to people that are "too nice". That being said, the providers were unable to discuss the cause of […] that has been bothering me for the past 5 months. They did what they could (X-ray, checked reflexes, etc.), but I cannot be 100% satisfied with them saying "Well we ran our standard tests and nothing seems wrong with you, go see a physical therapist." I'm depressed because I'm falling apart and don't know why.
