Okay, so I would like to start with the front desk, really great. The nurses, really great. The problem came in with the doctor. Basically everything I said, she said, no, that's not a thing or no, it's not possible for that to happen. Even to the point where things other doctors have told me, she's saying no about, or she's saying, telling me that like my medicine doesn't act a certain way. Like my sleep meds, me taking them four to six hours before I go to sleep, she said that's not possible because I would be passed out when quite routinely I would stay up all night. This was a consultation for insomnia and she quite literally told me it's impossible for me to be up for more than 24 hours once a week, which is common.
