It was such a relief for this man who always wants to talk AT me, to hear me. Whee! he heard me!

To your credit it sounded like you made it clear you did your homework and presented your side in an intelligent, matter of fact way. It has been my experience, on both sides of the exam table, that becoming too emotional can sabatoge the patient's credibility.
The "this is my body", "I'm the one paying you" and the ever unpopular "I'm not going to be your guinea pig" although tempting to say sometimes really don't benefit the patient when attempting a rational discussion, imo.
Your approach will most definitely shape his interactions with other patients and for that we all thank you, Dej!
