Welcome to NT!
Don't apologize for ranting. Most of us here at NT love a good rant - especially if it's about doctors. No matter what your affliction or whether the doctor is domestic, foreign or extraterrestrial,

the hardest thing is to get him/her (mostly him) to listen to you.

Oh heck, it's easier to teach dead mules to tap dance.
You're welcome to jump into any thread that catches your fancy. However, I thought I'd draw your attention to a couple that might be of particular interest to you:
