After many similar experiences with doctors, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that about 80% are only interested in time preservation and ego preservation.

If they don't know the answer in 5 minutes, then obviously you must be crazy. 2 minutes, if you're a woman.

They are allergic to 3 little words: "I don't know."

This is too accurate. Our medical system treats women as a minority or nonstandard patient. This is crazy when women are actually a slight majority over men. Usually around 51% of the population.
