Ask Ann Cannon: My doctor has a lousy bedside manner

Dear Ann Cannon • I have a medical condition where I need a specialist but there aren’t many doctors in my area that deal with my disease. The only doctor who can treat me is condescending, impatient and feels he knows it all (which he obviously does) but has a lousy bedside manner. I’m a person who has had a successful career and knows a thing or two, but this guy treats me like the village idiot. It’s almost more painful to go to each appointment and interact with him than to live with my illness. What can I do?
