Xmenace seems fond of saying that there are good doctors in the world, and I agree, there surely are and we have to be positive and open to good partnerships. But then there are many that STINK and the best move is be strong and get away from them. Besides medical imcompetence/lack of advocacy for you, it is also a relationship, that can be very emotionally harmful.
I completely relate. I have had doctors like this. The worst thing is the air of authority (hmmm, may I say arrogance?) they can give while being completely incompetent in their analysis of the situation, and even downright abusing their position as part of your _support_ team.
timmyp, good on you for moving on to better things, that is exactly the kind of story anyone currently with a lousy doctor needs to pay attention to.
