It can be scary to call a professional on his/her behaviors and practices, but remember that you deserve the best care you can get.

This is great advice. I would go one step further and recommend that you see a medical malpractice lawyer for a consultation. It may cost you $200 or so (although many lawyers offer a free first consultation). Seeking a consultation doesn't mean that you have a file a lawsuit or do anything legally, but it might help just to find out what legal action you may be able to take.
Sometimes in university towns, the university buys up many attorneys with little contracts, so that some firms and lawyers can't even deal with people employed by the university or on the university's health care system (conflict of interest). If your university is not in the biggest city in your state, look for an attorney in the biggest city. Otherwise, calling your state bar association for a referral might be useful.
