While I have not had the same experience as you, I have been told they are all being pushed to keep appointments to 20-30 minutes so the friendly conversations are not taking place any longer. But you raise the important point about introductions. No matter the setting, I came to realize years ago how important they truly are to our connections. They make a person feel seen, wanted, and affirmed. I hope moving forward your uncle experiences a better connection.

Yes something is missing. and I do think a phone call is necessary. Good communication starts with connection between people and there was never that connection. I think unsettling is the word.

She told me that the current trend in medical training these days is not about niceties…It’s about getting to as many patients as possible. Personally, I’m thankful for my healthcare provider because even though she isn’t old, she definitely understands the necessity of common courtesy.

Social manners & graces indeed go along way especially the older we get, sadly no longer is it the norm in our western societies. ????
blessings to you, Jennifer

I don’t think I have experienced this in an office, though I might have in a hospital. Being in a doctor’s office itself is unsettling enough without the staff coming in and out with no introductions or explanations.

Introductions, and not having to wait so long to see a doctor, are key to a healthy patient doctor relationship. I hope your uncle is doing well.
Blessings, Lisa!
