@pearlbaby7 Some doctors believe the M.D. behind their names stand for Master Deity. They do not want anyone to questionthem, nor present another option. I have found that all I can do is explain myself to them, whether they "get it" or not, whether they want to listen or not. Then decide if their service is what I want as part of my care team, or go elsewhere. In the last medical group I was with, my reputation was quickly established, and I sometimes felt defensive to explain myself. But as patients, if we have been listening to our bodies, we know best the symptoms.
