Mal, you did the right thing! If a doctor isn’t listening to your concerns tell him/her and if that doesn’t work find one that will listen.
My doc was just out of med school a couple of years when my wife and I both went to him. He always listens intently without speaking and you can see the wheels turning in his head when you’re explaining your symptoms. He has said no one knows your body better than you do. Given the fact that I’m a quad my body does some strange things such as blood clots(3 times), skin infections(2), pneumonia(3) along with many other problems, he is always seeking out other doctors to help him figure the problem out. He has been good for me for 22 years.
You are in control, find a doctor that is down to earth and willing to listen. They are just human after all.
