Numbness All Over: My story...

So I saw my GP today, and I’ve made the decision to look for a new GP. He was incredibly rude, and short tempered. I kinda knew he was an a-hole, but this really opened my eyes. First, he told me my rashes on my arms “weren’t big enough to concern me”. Then he spent 20 minutes telling me I was too fat, and that I’m looking for a “scapegoat for your symptoms”. He said being fat isn’t symptomatic of disease but lifestyle. I told him I wasn’t here to discuss weight, and that I was well aware I was fat. When I mentioned the cough he told me he thought I was “exaggerating the effects” of my asthma. Lastly I told him about my strong abdominal pain, and the yellow stools I have. He told me he’d order an ultrasound, but if it comes back clear, he said “I don’t want to see you again until you really have something wrong with you”. I asked for a MRI for my brain, per the ER doctor, and he said no then laughed it off.
