Yeah I once made the mistake of telling a primary care physician my MI symptoms and she proceeded to list reasons why I should change certain meds or that I had a tremor because of my meds.
Which was true -- I did have a tremor due to the meds I was on -- but it was like: "I didn't ask you!"
I wish I could have stood up to her but you can't really do that cause the doc is in a position of power and it'd be inappropriate to start shouting at her.
And anyway, they'd probably put me on more psych meds if I gave her a piece of my mind...
