I can certainly empathize with your comments, as in a similar position.
So true, your statement: "... doctors themselves have learned to pay little or no attention to a patient who thinks and remembers and asks questions in DETAIL." Most doctors seem to resent self-advocating patients who try to learn about their condition(s) by visiting reputable medical websites.

I also think that many (Dr's) allegiance to the general "Process" (of prescribing/medicating etc) has become more important to them than their allegiance to the individual "Patient."
I have learned by permanent future negative results of having taken a few prescriptions not to pick one up from the pharmacy until I have gone there, seen the exact name of the prescription, then gone home and researched it in detail by myself before deciding if I will take it or not.
It's often sadly amazing what Dr's AND PA's (tho I have found many PAs have more time for calm discussion than most Drs) have prescribed while either 1) not knowing the negative potential/aspects of what they are prescribing or 2) not asking me if I have any of the issues which their prescription might exacerbate.
And I suppose #2 is the same as #1 from the opposite direction 🙂 🙂 🙁
