Agreed that this applies to all humans but I have to say that when I read some of the reports I see (the ones on my "portal" not the ones they share with each-other)... do not accurately reflect things that I said. I am just another head going through but I am a person in chronic pain. Maybe the PCP or GI is also in pain but we are there…

I’ve had this same experience. I think it has a lot to do with most docs asking what brought you in today, or how has whatever issue been doing since the last visit, and then spending the rest of the visit with their attention focused on the laptop typing away, never absorbing what you’re saying. It’s incredibly frustrating.
I have a doc who uses a scribe. The doc carries around a tablet connected to the scribe. The scribe does all the writing. It was a little weird at first but now I don't even notice it. I feel like I'm getting the doc's full attention. Not perfect but a GREAT improvement!
As I have one specialist who by no means treats me as if I am special BUT he treats me with a holistic (sp?) approach... he understands the body and how one thing affects another. He does not just focus on the particular job that he needs to get done. It is not personal but to him, his job is that the patient have quality of life.
I have found one like this as well, but it took a lot of effort. And I live in a large market with lots of options, many people don’t have that luxury.
