National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2021 I don't feel the provider listened to me or what my concerns were. I just got so overwhelmed and gave up trying to really talk to her.

I'm just so tired of not being included in the process or listened to and just give up trying to even talk. I know I don't like the solutions being offered, but am tired of not being heard.
