Snoodles,
You are right to feel slighted by your pcp. What I want you to do now is to take notes about your vent, and sit down and write your pcp a letter, stating how you felt ignored and slighted, and that you didn't appreciate the treatment.
None of us deserves this treatment--and there are many of us who've experienced it. It would be wise to list what you'd originally desired to discuss with him, and let him know that as your primary care physician, it is both his and your responsibility to work together to make sure that you get the best treatment possible to be healthy.
Why do they push us out the door like this? How many of us have given up trying to get an answer as to what is causing us to be unwell?
So much for the best health care in the world. Hah!
