Most. Staggered. Rapport. Ever. It was as if he only had one topic of conversation and had to drag it over the entire consultation, lest I think poorly of his communication skills or something. It's unsettling when there are long, unexplainable pauses in an otherwise sane conversation. That and I hate telling my GPs that I'm a medical student. It makes me feel like an utter moron.
