Cancel your next appointment with the surgeon. You deserve to be treated with respect. A good doctor is not threatened by peers that disagree with their medical opinion and confers with them for the good of the pt. If you like the new doctor tell them about your difficulty with the surgeon.They may be able to help you or can direct you to people who can.You can still talk to your GP if it doesn't pan out. You have enough stress without having your doctor behave like an idiot. In Oregon we are able to access Drs Medical Board standing in the state. They're the place pt's complaints are sent.To get well you need to have doctors that will work with you. Go get'um Rubyann.
