I’m very sorry to hear this.
I hoped they became a tiny bit more helpful as we age but it seems they only change the non answers.
My favorite is the slight shrug followed by I really don’t know. come back if it doesn’t go away.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Doctors are trained how exactly to deal with patients and which words to use. Though I understand some doctors are just incompetent and unhelpful
