When a doctor didn’t believe me but then test results proved I was right…

This happens to me ALWAYS.

ALWAYS.

I have so many test results proving myself right, and yet some doctors refuse to learn to trust me despite my rather extreme track record in this regard.

Just recently I said I was bleeding out of my stoma to a ridiculous degree.  Showed the guy replacing my tube that the toilet was full of blood, told him there was at least ten times as much blood as was in the picture.  He told me the blood was actually bile and that I was not bleeding.  A week later I got an endoscopy that showed an ulcer with a giant blood vessel right in the middle of it, spewing blood and blood clots.  But I know that even if I go back to this doctor and tell him this happened, he’ll laugh at me at best.  Because he does that.  He laughed at me when I said I knew the difference betwee bile and blood, and then he literally refused to respond to anything I said the entire rest of the time we were in a room together.  Literally just ignored eery word I said as if I wasn’t talking.  It was incredible rudeness.  But it seems like everyone around him goes “well that’s just what he’s like” so it’s supposed to be okay, there’s like this culture of excusing it because he’s a doctor or something.  IDK.  I’m always afraid of running into him because I just get sick of his bullshit attitude towards me, which has always varied between condescending, contemptuous, and hostile.
