I had to ask her to do that for me and to give me a small amount of tape to take home. She offered to order an xray, but did not express any opinion about whether it was necessary. This woman obviously had no interest in learning anything about the practice of medicine. I believe a young doctor would have identified herself by title and last name, and would have done everything that I had to ask this nurse practitioner to do. A young doctor would have been eager to help and to learn something. Am I wrong?

Yes.
