Oh Maggie! I am so sorry you had to go through that crap. What an awful doctor! I have to agree with as far as the moral of the story...you needed to go far away from that building and kind of start all over without anything already put in the doctors head. They tend to listen to what others have said instead of using their own mind.
If I were you I would not go back to him and seek out someone else.
Try not to let this get you too down, although we all know it's easier said than done. Remember what so many others have gone through and how many doctors they had to see before finally getting an answer. We all know it's hard, but we're all here and we understand excatly how you are feeling. ok. Dont let what anyone else says cloud your vision as far as what you need to keep doing. They don't know you so don't let what they say bother you. Shake it off and think of them as the shallow, insignificant nuisance, because the way they acted shows exactly that, besides many other things I could think of right now, like ignorant arrogant, unkind etc..
I still can't get over how badly he treated you. UUUG! It makes my blood boil, so I can just imagine how its making you feel. Maybe you can use that anger for a good thing...take the energy that you're putting into the anger and use it to keep plugging away.
Again I am sorry that you had to go through this. I hope things change for you soon so you can have some better days.
Big hugs to ya,
Lisa
