I don't think the doctor would take revenge. They get turned down for this type of thing all the time. But the comments would make me not want to see him again.
As to the scheduler, if he works at an institution of any kind, he (almost 100%) has no say in who the surgery scheduler is. Her comment was totally inappropriate. I'm sorry you have had such a bad interaction with this treatment facility. I would look for someone else, however, if you still get the surgery done at that hospital, you might have to deal with that scheduler again. Yuck.

Your response about the research/education stuff was very helpful to me. You did not say anything that upset me. It was actually quite clear.
Perhaps my frustration showed because my attempt to clarify the consent form with the woman scheduler didn't go well. There was a point in which I could have put and end to that conversation. Once she answered my questions, all I had to do was get out of there. She started confiding in me about her personal struggles with other doctors and comparing my problems with hers. There was no need for me to justify to her my doubts about the doctor's trustworthiness. I sense that her intention was to get me to schedule the surgery with this doctor no matter what I said.
Maybe, my fear is getting the best of me with the worst case scenario of revenge.
Yeah, the scheduler has this yuck factor going for herself. If I find a surgeon with both good surgical skills and good bedside manners elsewhere, I wont have to deal with her again.
