I think I could have done a better job of providing more history behind my medical issue, so that the doctor had a more thorough understanding of my condition. It was the first time I visited Dr Huston. I know there is usually a standard procedure for doing things, and I get that, but sometimes it feels like a cookie cutter approach.
