You only have one chance to make a good first impression. I had been looking forward to meeting Dr. Lawson. After waiting 6 weeks for the appointment, then another hour in the room after vitals had been taken, he came in distracted. Our discussion was interrupted a few times by his cell phone. He started going into the risk factors of the treatment he thought I should do but didn't explain how this treatment was decided upon. We were having a hard time communicating/ understanding the process. There was a resident In the room with us and she finally understood. She then proceeded to pull up on the computer paperwork concerning my condition.
