He was efficient and he spoke to me I know they are overworked, underpaid but even though I may never see him again I think they could spend just 5 minutes longer talking to patients, I felt both times I was there like I was on an assembly line ,let's process ,stamp, and get them out of here. Sorry but that's how it is.
