Have I ever experienced something like that? You betcha! Mostly in the US, but once in Australia. The Aussie Doc gets a pass on it, though, because his was pretty slight. I went to see him for shingles, and he prescribed the right medication, but told me, "It's actually Herpes Zoster." Really? You mean the viral outbreak commonly called Shingles? You just want to prove you went to med school, buddy? The US problems, though, have been worse.
Hell, this past year was worse for me. Despite telling a therapist that I was at war with food, she missed the signs of AN and continued to subject me to a barrage of "treatment" almost designed to trigger a relapse. Not to mention the psychiatrist who was treating me during that period who apparently did not notice that I had lost fifty pounds on his watch -- the jack@$$ continued to describe me in his notes as "well nourished"!
Doctors are almost like people, in that some are better than others. And then some are as ejitic (see? You gotta be careful how you spell things, "idjiotic" would have been better.) as the guy you just saw. I"m sorry you're having to deal with that. My bet is that he's insecure. But that's one bet, and it doesn't really matter why he's an idjit, just that you have to put up with his idjitcy.
Grrrrrrrr!!!!!! There's a growl in your honor. Good luck, and a healing hope for your Helen.
