    I completely agree. I just don’t blame the doctors for it. I blame the way the entire medical system is set up. Doctors tend to be overworked.

      This is a good assessment. I’m a 3rd year medical student in my clinical rotations, and yesterday we had an appointment that was scheduled in a 20 minute slot, but we were in there for a bit over 45 minutes. Taking the time to really listen and answer questions is important…especially when the appointment is to discuss newly discovered metastatic pancreatic cancer. You just do not rush that conversation.
