Wow , sorry you were treated this way.

I'm a B*itch about my health care needs ( I worked for Doctors my whole life) They do not scare or intimindate me at all , they put there pants on the same way as me.

I was Inpatient a couple years ago .. the Pdoc on staff is a dismissive jerk. he rambled on telling me what I was and wasnt going to do. He got up to walk out the door and I said .... EXCUSE me , we are not done here, You will listen to me and my concerns and Then and only then will this "appt" be over when we agree on a treatment together. He sat his smug *** down and we figured it out.

Ok so maybe that would be a tad over the top for your Pdoc but.... Maybe at the begining of your next appoint start off with a " I think maybe at our last appointment I didn't express myself to where you were able to understand my concerns, Can we make sure we are both understanding my concerns and what treatment we can agree on?"

Good luck !
