A wait and see approach for anything that has been around for more than 2 weeks is the wrong approach. You appear to be with the wrong doctor for two reasons. The above is on and his attitude and bedside manner stink.
However, Christine is right. It is unfair of you to lump all doctors together because a few uncaring doctors. There are many good docs out there and you will find them. But, you have to make the move.
