    Unfortunately she did not listen to what I said, used any further attempts I made to help her understand to twist that information. She questioned if I had any sjogrens symptoms and became so intense she just started speaking/asking questions based off of complete assumptions she had made. I let her know I wanted to end the visit as I did not feel safe, I answered her questions as to why as best I could in the moment and then she proceeded to stare me down before leaving.
