I think it is sad and worth crying about. The doctor reminded you not just of your partner's path but of his own; you'll be changing doctors too when you get Medicare and having to start all over breaking a new one in. If I'd been there and thought of it (both, impossible :-) I would have hit him with a sarcastic comeback; "Yeah, and maybe my next doctor will be Marcus Welby".
