Hello Hello.
I think there is a safe bet to place, saying that you are definately not alone in hating doctors. My own mother finds it really difficult when I refuse to see them - even when I'm semi-conscious!! Honestly theny've done enough to me; said enough to me, that frankly I've stopped listening so there is no point.
What I have found, over 18 years of being treated is that there are some doctors who will listen. While there are others that appear to have a different agenda. I've found one (who I've had for years) who will sit down and talk. He answers my questions as best as he can - although I could quite easily find a better answer, as in the one I want to hear, somewhere else.
I think that as you grow older, you realise that doctors are simply human. They are allowed to make mistakes just as we are. We just have to hope that they are not serious mistakes. So, by all means I still don't get along witih doctors too well - but I try to just for the sake of feeling better.
Hope things are well for you - in your part of the world. (I am from Australia)
Take Care
