Confused just shoot me

had my appointment with the man but before going in to see him i was prepared with my emg report and the findings are to long to list so here are the impressions
1. sensorimotor demyelinating peripheral neuropathy predominantly affecting upper extremities.
2. bilateral c6 radiculopathies.
3. post laminectomy pain syndrome.
so were in the office my daughter and me that is and the doctor walks in with his intimidating self he sits me down and he tells me things along the lines of, you have a multitude of problems, and im like to myself no duh like i didn't know that and, was i really paying for this. then he tells me something else i know, i have peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia so he gives me ANOTHER prescription for a x-ray and that was that visit. not to mention that he only sees me for like five minutes i mean the drive is longer then the visit. that visit was truly a waste of my time and gas.

Perhaps not. He did order another x-ray - another piece of the puzzle.

What was his answer when you asked about his proposed treatment plan and prognosis from here on?

Doc
