The doctor should never have lied to you. Geesh! I've had 3 doctors be extremely rude to me, even though I had my hubby with me. He was shocked. One didn't listen to me at all and dismissed me out of hand quite rudely, when I had a brain aneurysm. I had to go back to my primary and get another referral to another ophthalmologist who was also rude to me because I wouldn't let him dilate my eyes again. The first insisted on it, I told him my left eye was very weak, I'd had strabismus surgery when a child, and my muscles were atrophying. I should never have let him do it, as my left eye now I can't control, and need surgery to repair, which hopefully I'll get. It also took my eye 48 hours to go down, which is part of my EDS. I got a referral to a neural ophthalmologist from him, though, which is what I wanted from him, but I let his office know and my other doctors know how rude he was to me.
I now have an excellent neuro ophthalmologist, and am meeting a new one in August, who can do surgery.
I'm also known to confront doctors, and will not go back if treated poorly. I'm lucky now that I found an incredible primary care doctor, who has learned along with me about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which I have, and which is progressive.
Sending you all of my love. You're welcome to message me anytime. I'll send you my email.
