I would discuss it again with your doctor the next time you are there.

They really want to know about it, and certainly wouldn't want you to leave because of her. And if you're having trouble, others are too. It rarely is an isolated problem, and what you heard the other employees say confirms that.

I had a problem recently with a nurse at a hospital treating my mother terribly when she was in that hospital after having a stroke. I ended up talking to the charge nurse and calmly discussed the situation; I think she was glad we brought it up to her. The resolution was that we ended up not having that nurse assigned to my mother's room beginning immediately. She got the message pretty quickly that I complained about her, and wouldn't even make eye contact with me the rest of the stay when I met her in the hall.

I'm not a whiner, this was the only time in my entire life that a health care professionals behavior didn't sit well with me.

Everybody deserves to be treated respectfully.
