Unhelpful doctor leaves patient feeling frustrated

My dad and I encountered an identical situation where, upon describing our symptoms, the healthcare professional responded with the unhelpful queries: "What would you like me to do?" or "What would you like me to prescribe?" I shouldn't have to explain how such questions reveal the physician's incompetence and lack of professional expertise. When consulting a medical professional, I anticipate receiving informed guidance and clear recommendations based on their medical knowledge. Instead, I was met with a reversal of roles, prompting me to award a mere two stars. The phrase "I'm not the doctor, you are" perfectly captures my frustration. It's already challenging to be uncertain about one's health, but being asked the same vague questions I've been struggling with for months is unacceptable. I'll conclude by emphasizing the potential gravity of the situation: "What if this were a life-threatening condition?"
