Personally, I have had bad pdocs who pissed me off, so I know how upsetting it can be, but there are always good ones out there. You never know until you try someone if they're good or bad. Of course, I know it can be frustrating when you've had several bad pdocs in a row, but not every single one is bad. In fact, I encourage you to tell your pdoc when something he or she says upsets you. Sometimes doctors don't know they're pissing you off unless you tell them. Heck, you can even tell this pdoc outright what your concerns are with your treatment plan.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

I think that's true, sometimes doctors, and also other people, may not know that something they say is pissing us off unless we tell them.
(although I have had some extraordinarily unhelpful things said to me by several professionals irl and I am sure they knew it wasn't helpful

)
