I asked you to try to think about it from your doctor's point of view and you just repeated that they're not doing what you want them to do. Yes, they probably made mistakes due to their own emotional state.

Responding to this from an entirely egocentric place is just going to make the problem worse. Why not approach such things with compassion; at least you may get somewhere with this person. It is hard to make diverse friends if you cannot do so.

Your comment makes no sense to me.

Failing to treat me is a professional failing with severe adverse effects for me. And it's entirely based on the judgemental assholeness of such doctors. If you can't stop blaming people for their conditions, find another job. I'm not my GPs therapist.

Also, they've been dead for close to a decade.
