Young Doctors and Attitudes

I have noticed that younger doctors (especially specialists) don't greet you when they enter the exam room. They either sit down or stand then peruse their tablet or notebook looking up your records. They often don't even ask how you are feeling?

I have asked my friends if they have noticed this as well and they say it happens to them too. Most blame the fact that this newer generation has difficulty with face to face interactions. Some will go through a whole day without actually speaking to someone directly for more than an hour. They message everyone even if that person sits right next to them at work or home.
