Very quickly he assumed that I needed to "start working out" and "learn to diet and fast". Doc please! I ran 3 half-marathons last year. I count my calories and fast nightly.

December 1, 2022Essam R.Verified patient
doctor seemed very dismissive of my concerns and that clearly my knowledge of problems was not the same as his. I understand that doctors are very busy but it felt like he was trying to get out of there from the second he got in.
