 [ Symptoms ] nothing works on my dry skin i itch so much i am leaving marks what can i do [ Disease ] in my opinion yes you can request more time the medical provider has a way of up coding the visit so they get paid a bit more by medicare or insurance companies as a paying consumer regardless of who actually pays the doctor really works for you your paid consultant so to speak i really feel that they should spend extra time especially if requested by the patient not all medical maladies can be evaluated and cured in ten minutes or less if your medical provider is not agreeable perhaps it is time to shop for someone who will be compassionate enough to spend the time necessary to meet your needs
