I performed guitar at a gig for 1500 people a couple months ago. (I am going somewhere with this). The audience was first year university medical students on their way to becoming doctors. During the ceremony they had to take an oath. It was about a ten minute oath but is pretty much summed up like this:
1. Number one priority is to listen to the patient.
2. Do not argue with a patient.
3. Do not embarrass a patient.
4. Work hard to gain the patient's trust.Basically, the whole idea before healing can even start is to have a trusting open relationship.
It sounds to me like your doctor would have flunked out of this university.
Here is an interesting fact. 50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class.
Always remember....who pays who? You are the paying customer. It is your life. it is your money. You are the one who is ultimately in charge of making all decisions related to your health and life. You pay other people to help you do that. You don't pay them to fight you on it. You don't pay them to ignore you or belittle you.
