I know there's a hiring freeze at UAMS but there's a limit to everyone's ability to cope. The doctor explained to me that our conversation was being recorded on AI and asked me if that was ok. I don't trust AI, but I said ok. She said that it saves her a lot of time because she doesn't have to type her notes. I'm all for that. I don't know where UAMS gets their money other than from patients, insurance, donations. Perhaps all hospitals in the state should petition our state government to make money available.

Dr. Nandy was understanding and understands my preferences to do as much self-care as possible. My new prescription was carefully considered by her as well as myself.

Didn't feel the exam was any more than a quick annual. Blood work and go see a specialist regarding gastrointestinal issues. No discussion regarding mental stress. I hope to get an analysis of what my recent blood work means.

The most diligent and thorough inquiry into my complaints, medications and medical history ever undertaken by any doctor in any single office visit in my life. Quite extraordinary. Bravo!
