Oh yeah I’ve been there before, I want to disseminate as much details as possible in case it changes the dr’s outcome. But in my experience they’re probably tuning me out because they already got a diagnosis and treatment from the first few things I described to them. They’re professionals and good Drs will also know every permutation of what you’re describing and so it kinda comes off as not paying attention.
Although I do agree better bedside manners could help. But I also think there’s probably a lot of Drs on the spectrum too and I know of I was a doctor I’d probably come off as tuning out people like all the time, despite actually listening intently. Dunno if any of this helped just my exp.

Scrubs had an episode about this. I think it was 15 seconds that they actually paid attention.
