I am so sorry for what you are going through. I don't know if it's just that doctors don't know, don't care or don't want to take the time. My old fashioned country doctor cared. I saw him every 3 months and each time he checked blood pressure and pulse. He said he needed the baseline to know when something was wrong, now this doctor saws he only checks if I have BP symptoms. He also told me some specialists only want to do surgeries because that's where the money is. That is the kind I had. Immediately she wanted to set the date for surgery, then finally gave me antibiotics which did clear up the infection.
