    This is the rudest doctor I have ever been to. He was being judgmental about my medical history and told me I was good to go. Then I drove home and got a call from the nurse saying I wasnt supposed to leave and I had to come back which was super inconvenient, it took me out of work and school for longer. It also wasted my gas money.
