Hi Tabitha. I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience with that pdoc. Because that is what it was. I can especially relate to having to talk to this doc about your life when you know he is spouting off incorrect information. You also have the dynamic of not really being able to challange this info as you don't want to be labeled "difficult" at your first visit.
I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. In that case I went to my HMO doc and it was a disaster. I then went to another one and it was the best move I ever made. I am still seeing this pdoc and imagine I will until he boots me, which I doubt will happen.
I guess I'm trying to say keep trying, keep looking. Great pdocs are out there. Find one that is OK with you challanging information. I do with mine and it is an important part of what we do. Good luck.
