Questionairs seem a waste of time

I spent more than 20 minutes filling in questionnaires prior to one of your people calling me. Then, when you called, you asked the exact same questions which I had already answered in the questionnaires, despite saying you had already read it. Also, you may want to review the questions you ask people. For example. (Q) when does your knee hurt? (A) ONLY when i walk down hill for prolonged periods. Next question. Does it hurt when you are in bed at night? (A) No, as I said, it only hursts when I walk down hill for prolonged periods. Next question. Does it hurt when you wake up in a morning? (A) No, as I said before, it only hurst when I walk down hill for prolonged periods.
