Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Made an appointment with a urology office to discuss getting a vasectomy, was told that the initial consults are with a nurse practitioner and not the actual doctor performing the procedure. Is this common practice?I'm assuming I won't even be meeting the doctor until the day of the procedure, which I think is kind of strange and makes me even more nervous than I already am. I know doctors are spread thin and minor procedures like vasectomies are probably low on their list, but I would at least like a few minutes of facetime with the guy that's going to be working on my junk.... ### Response: That's typical for many offices. If the doctor is meeting with everyone individually, then that's a lot fewer procedures they can do. Just the way healthcare works in the US..
