Re: Had to switch doctors...adventures of a bald headed freak
Sometimes we have to stir up some trouble to get things done! All that matters is that you felt disrespected by the doctor. I switched GPs early in my cancer treatment (when my BP was through the roof and he was not giving me the meds to control it) he told me to "take all your worries and float them down the river". I suppose he meant that to be comforting but I felt patronized. And my worries were not going to get resolved by wishing them away. So I got a new doc who got things straightened out.
Keep the faith.
