Wow, that's really not cool. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I've had that happen before--the worst was an intern in the ER who demanded graphic details of my trauma history while I was extremely sick with a life-threatening illness that had nothing to do with my trauma.
Personally, I wouldn't work with a doctor who couldn't be sensitive to my trauma issues, although I know it can be hard to find GP's sometimes, so it's not always an option. I've finally put together a team of docs who don't ask about my psych issues unless it's truly medically relevant, which in most cases it isn't. Even my OB/Gyn hasn't asked for details beyond the bare-bones stuff that's medically necessary to know.
I hope you're able to get respectful treatment, whether it's from this doctor or someone else.
