Janene,

Some doctors feel they are always right and should not be questioned but it is out duty to ourselves that directs us otherwise.

If you are stuck with this doctor for some insurance reasons you need to be direct and question why he doesn't believe you. Ask him why he thinks you'd be making up pain and that if he continues to refuse to take you and your symptoms seriously, that you want to be transferred to another gp who will direct you to proper care. You deserve better and should not have to settle for less.

If you get tongue tied when this doctor tries to minimize you and your pain, write down what you'd like to say and read it!

Good luck, Dale
