I would encourage you to try another doctor soon. My tendency has always been to hang in there and figure it's me who is unreasonable. Now I think that, for years, I have put up with lots that I should have objected too. With no money and no insurance, I go to a public clinic that I feel lucky to have. I feel like I am on the dole and have to accept whatever treatment is handed to me.
Rose...I'm sorry this happened to you with the doctor. Also, sorry to hear of your partner's failing health. He is lucky to have you in his life!

Would you be better off at this time just refraining from visiting this doctor altogether? I am thinking so! You are not at fault in any way, so there is no need to "hang in there." I've been in similar situations with counselors who were insensitive. Like you say, they can become "hardened," but that is their problem, not yours.

You seem to be very centered, Rose. Take some time to assess how valuable it is for you to continue seeing this doctor who has upset you so.
