I am so sorry you had that experience, that is terrible!! I would have walked out too, there is no need for one human to treat another human like that. Is there a different rheum in your area? I would look into finding another one. Through the years I have decided i will not put up with that attitude. If they have an attitude at first visit, I am gone!! I am concerned about your spitting up blood. Did the GI doctor do any testing? One positive thing i have learned over the many struggles is to trust my body. I have really learned my body signals, trusted my intuition and have been fairly stable with little symptoms for awhile. I do hope you feel better and find a compassionate provider.
