Answer #1

I think you have a case on your hands. Disrespect and misdiagnose. I would sue him, and arrange to stay with my old specialist.

Answer #2

So, your doctor obviously isn’t keen on bedside manner, but try to look at it from his point of view for a moment … How would you feel if you were the doctor, and you had a patient telling you that you’re wrong because they saw another doctor and he said so? Would you not feel insulted? Wouldn’t you feel put out if a patient were to argue your diagnosis and treatment options because they had an opinion from another doctor?

Now, that doesn’t mean you should keep going to him if you feel you aren’t being properly cared for, but rather than telling him to his face that you saw another doctor and he had a different diagnosis, you should have just ended the consultation and, instead, go back to the other doctor for your treatment.

No good comes from debating a man’s profession when you don’t have the same education and experience that he does.
