I mostly avoid them

Or when some smart *** looks me up and down, I can’t stand that.

I struggled with this a lot. Not sure what your issues are, but finding the right doctor is key. Also, if you have trouble communicating your issues, write them down before arriving. I have to do this or I just sound like rambling fool.
Honestly, I didn't find a good connection until I started working with a nurse practitioner. Nurses have the empathy necessary to interpret your concerns, and the can treat your issues. And since they do the majority of doctors work, they have the knowledge and skill, without tha god complex. Maybe give that a shot.
I had to learn that doctors are not gods, and some really a just jerks. And that I am responsible for my medical care. I spent a long time blaming doctors for not understanding me, and it got me nowhere but angry.
It may take some doing, but trust your gut and demand appropriate treatment. It is your right. And if all else fails, a complaint is far more effective than telling a doctor off.
