Oh yeah I’ve been there before, I want to disseminate as much details as possible in case it changes the dr’s outcome. But in my experience they’re probably tuning me out because they already got a diagnosis and treatment from the first few things I described to them. They’re professionals and good Drs will also know every permutation of what you’re describing and so it kinda comes off as not paying attention.
Although I do agree better bedside manners could help. But I also think there’s probably a lot of Drs on the spectrum too and I know of I was a doctor I’d probably come off as tuning out people like all the time, despite actually listening intently. Dunno if any of this helped just my exp.
