Frustrating doctor visit with zero compassion

I had an appointment this morning regarding my sciatica, and when I tried to discuss my mental health, the doctor abruptly told me that I could only address one issue per visit and suggested I book another appointment. Seriously? My mental health is deteriorating because of my sciatica! So frustrated that I decided to switch medical practices on my way home. The whole experience is ridiculous - having to queue up at 8am just to secure an appointment, with nobody answering the phone, sick people everywhere. The good doctors like Dr. Williams have all left, and the new physician I saw lacks any semblance of compassion. This was supposed to be our family practice, a place where doctors knew and cared about their patients. Someone suggested blaming funding, but I disagree. First, doctors aren't struggling financially, and secondly, this profession has historically attracted individuals motivated by more than money. What I see now is simply a lack of professional pride and commitment to patient care.
