    He did not show up at the designated time he showed up early and did not show up on video and just called me from a blocked number insisting that he wanted to do the call over the phone this is not what my expectation was. He also was unwilling to provide me any other medication for having covid he seemed in a rush and did not want to give me a thorough diagnosis
