I would say that they are unable to deal with the limitations of their field and their own limitations and therefore tend to blame their patients for their own shortcoming, but as the same time do try to be caring and supportive as much as they possibly can. Telling a patient that their breathing difficulties are the result of their understandable fear and being very supportive about it, allows them to be both ignorant and caring physicians at the same time. It is a good solution for them, but a very dangerous and cruel solution for the patient.

Oh my alice, that sounds exactly like my story! Especially the lines I quoted.
I got neuro's getting angry at me, saying I was overdoing things at home so that's why I was so weak. (Of course, though I was lying down all day, I did hoist myself up a few times a day, dragging myself to the toilet, so I probably triggered it all myself
)
Or indeed, the same everytime: it's stress/depression/anxiety "which is perfectly normal, I understand it must be hard to cope, you're young!! talk to a therapist, do some coloring, listen to Enya."
I wish to all of us we all get such a nice neurologist as you have now Alice! Hope you, Anacrusis, will meet one too. I'm going to meet a new specialist of specialists soon, so new doc new chance.
But I guess it's a difficult path, which involves a whole lot of getting disappointed, angry, sad, and a whole lot of crying and getting turned down. And not getting much better. Maybe a quest, but then I do want to be joined by a Gandalf or a Dumbledore.
But I guess in the end we can say we learned something (eh, look at me being so positive
)
