Drive three hours for an appointment with “Dorchak” because a coworker’s dad had gotten surgery by him, and they gave me his nurse practitioner. Saw dorchak in the hall but he apparently didn’t have time to hear my problem.

Surgery wasn’t involved so figured doctor didn’t have time for me. Talking to him and he gets up and walks out. Had only been in there about 5 minutes.
