( Whining about my quality of life health issues and my doctor )
Meanwhile, i suspected my doctor wouldn't manage to respond to two different questions in one email, but i ended the email with the statement, "As a second note -- much of my skin issues cleared up while i was taking the massive doses of vitamin D. They've since come back. I've been taking 4000 IU. Should i raise that dose?" She completely ignored it. I've resent the question as a single message.
I've been thinking about the need to simplify communications because folks seem to poorly cope with complicated or multidimensional or simply even multiple issues in email, but i was in a "how hard can it be" impatient space.
I have this suspicion that many bright folks are in "skim mode" most of time, listening and looking for key terms that they can latch onto and respond to without engaging with the complete communication stream.
Today, i have no patience for that (even if i probably fall into the same trap all the bloody time).
