Is it not possible the doctor looking at her computer is just like Glen
listening to music without moving? Focusing on the facts of the matter and
not on distracting emotional signals?

For what it's worth, my Dr. thanked me after our 1st interaction. He
walked in with his laptop, sat down and started poking at it. I then used my
familiarity with electronic medical records (I was a product mgr at such a
company at one point) to finagle his attention and demonstrate our mutual
affinity for how computation can help him provide good healthcare. I even
explained how I'd looked him up online beforehand and knew all the schools he
went to and that he had no active malpractice suits against him. (Which was no
small feat since he's an immigrant from India.)
That interaction successfully grabbed his attention. Perhaps, since you're
also computer literate, you could use the same trick next time a Dr's attention
is too focused on the computer?
