Primary care preventer?

Change doctors. If they don't listen and work with you tell them that. If you have valid reasons for requesting care and they try to convince you otherwise that isn't a good doctor.

changing doctors has been an annual tradition for me for the last 5 years. It's an odd mix of "nobody is taking new patients" and "here's someone even worse" that I seem stuck on. Still trying. I think I am fighting "the protocol" at this point. It has that enshittified vibe.

This thread convinced me to sweep aside his bullshit and insist though, and I'm thankful for that nudge. I might not be in a few months when I'm drinking the gallon of paste, but that's a problem for future Mike :)
