Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. V was highly disappointing. It became evident that Dr. V adheres strictly to her own way of thinking, seemingly unwilling to adapt to the evolving landscape of medicine. Despite the importance of patient input and the role of guardians in decision-making, Dr. V's approach seemed to prioritize her own opinions above all else.Communication with Dr. V was challenging, to say the least. Any deviation from pleasantries was met with dismissal, and there was a distinct lack of accountability for the poor communication and apparent disregard for patient concerns. Instead of seeking to de-escalate situations, Dr. V tended to escalate them, exacerbating tensions rather than finding constructive solutions.Perhaps most concerning was the apparent absence of bedside manner. It felt as though empathy and understanding were lacking, as if these qualities were not deemed important in Dr. V's practice. Whether this is a result of oversight in medical education
