How do You Deal with Dangerous Doctor, Abusive Provider? Tips?

Are there threads that discuss abuses by doctors?

I would like to discuss these difficulties and learn what people are doing to resolve these abuses. Seems like every doctor and every dentist I turn to has horrible office staff and a variety of abusive behaviors. By staff and sometimes by the doctors themselves.

It has been a very very difficult journey.

Thank you for listening.

I fire them, complain to the Network admins in writing with specific instances, and requesting another provider.
In three years, I found a PCP on the third try. The first did not listen at all. The second ignored critical signs of chronic kidney disease. My present PCP, the third has helped me assess the renal status, including referral to urologist. Diagnostic testing in progress.
Similar for cardiologist, who winged it thru my appts, never answered my direct questions, dismissed my concerns, ...
I chatted with Network admins, and was referred to a wonderful physician as my cardiologist.
You need not merely accept uncaring treatment; nor dismissive communications which ignore or gloss over your questions and concerns.
Write a journal including reports and questions and answers . Take the journal with you to remind yourself of the questions, and to record the interactions.
