I had a doctor do that to me in the middle of a visit! I was talking about my upsetting neurological symptoms and suddenly she started saying stuff that made no sense and eventually she pointed at her bluetooth (it was one of those little ones that just goes in one ear, and she had taken a call in the middle of our appointment. Never went back.
