Poetist,
I'm sorry for what you've been through. Unfortunately this happens to too many patients. Sometimes it's hard to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and keep advocating for your needs.

I've had absolutely horrendous visits with several neurologists and those are hard to forget, even 5 years down the road. It floored me the things that they would say to me and in such a disrespectful manner. I also noted that these type of comments were not made (for the most part) when my husband attended the appointment with me. Go figure!!

I hope your next appointment goes more smoothly with the other physician. All patients deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.
