My mother has been seen by a Dr to review her medication

My mother has been seen by a Dr to review her medication. I attended the clinic with my mum as a interpreter as my mum does not speak English. The Dr was very abrupt, not lessening and their lack of empathy is flabbergasting. They refused to discus pain management, saying that chronic pain doesn't have treatment. As a health care professional myself, I understand about chronic pain, however, their is always something we can do like: showing empathy, try certain medication or refer patients to pain management clinic. Ignoring the patient pain, would not make the pain go away. In fact would more likely increase other problems, like depression, etc. Although my mum did not understand what the Dr was saying, she felt that they were unhelpful and that the Dr did not care about her or her medical issues. In the waiting room she asked me " do you think they behaved that way because I am a foreigner?". Once again as a daughter and health care professional I feel extremely disappointed and let down. I would not be happy to see this Dr again. Thank you. Kind Regards
