My comment about being your doctor means you know and understand your medical situation. This allows you to make decisions. This also means you can present your symptoms clearly and understand the response from an appropriate doctor. My understanding is that is what you are doing. Please correct me if I misunderstand

In my experience, unfortunately, I have met doctors who have higher priorities than the patient's appropriate health.

Example.
I had back pain, so I went to a clinic where I met a doctor who explained that he had retired, but his stocks had gone down, and he was back at work. I helped him use his computer to write prescriptions for the pharmacy. I then waited in the pharmacy for my medicine. When my name was called, I went to the counter, and the pharmacist looked at me silently for a while and then asked me if I was a woman. I said no and asked why he asked. His answer was the prescription was for a woman.
I have stories worse than this one.
Have a nice day.
