So am I.  I feel bad for my husband who often needs to yell at me to get a reaction.

Eye contact is so important. I switched drs twice because neither of them ever looked at me, just at their iPads. I felt nothing I was saying was even being heard.

Pertinent clarifying questions.

 

Not argumentative questions. Questions that show eagerness to understand and readiness to listen to more.
