    The information that Mr. Buchmann gave contradicted from the previous visit. He made light on the condition I had and stated that I shouldn't worry about it, yet the condition I have limits my daily activities and career. His answers were very arragont and he didn't listen to what I had to say when I would reiterate my concern. I have never been so frustrated in a medical care provider before.
