When I find myself learning and knowing more than most doctors, that scares me.  It means that what I learn is a bit of a threat to them, a threat to their authority, to their knowledge and training, and to their certification.  But these features are no trifling aspects; these are what the licensed professional builds his self-image on. You just entered his domain.  You came in with questions, and while you're in you point out an unusual response, an out-lier type of response, to some standardized medical procedure.  Expect him to down-dress you despite the documented evidence of your claim. But to protect his authority, to protect his license and to coddle the regulatory agencies that give him life he also has to adopt the prevailing narrative about the sanctioned procedure.  What I am talking about it ultrasound.  I told this surgeon that the ultrasound burned me, and he rejected it outright and did not tolerate any questioning.  Maybe it is just his personality, an idiosyncrasy, a bias.  Even Wikipedia has my back,

Ultrasound treatments and/or exposure can create cavitations that can potentially "results in a syndrome involving manifestations of nausea, headache, tinnitus, pain, dizziness, and fatigue."

The word "syndrome" tells you that the reaction consists of a cluster of symptoms that seem not to occur in isolation, creating a complex condition that no physician has been able to understand or explain.  This may be one reason why some doctors, at least this surgeon, refused to acknowledge any adverse side effects from the ultrasound.  Instead, he tried to make me sound like a kook.  He tries to get that charge to stick, while he's got his assistant with him who exaggerated a dismissive expression on her face.  That's what I call a good team effort.  So it wasn't just me and "my doctor."  He brought in muscle.  The surgeon invited his receptionist to audit the reporting of my symptoms.  And this on a first-time visit?  Didn't make sense except to serve to squelch any conflicting opinion.  In fact, when I insisted that the ultrasound did cause burning, he said "Well, I'm not going to argue with you."  He was being non-confrontational.  He wasn't elevating the discussion to more medical tones.  No.  He was controlling the discussion by way of phony politeness.  It was the classic two-against-one, and this is exactly how these licensed professionals play.  Dirty.  So the next time you think that your benevolent doctor has only your best interest in mind, think again. He is self-serving.  I am okay with that as long as I derive some benefit from his knowledge, expertise, and insight.  I will say that he was able to identify a condition that no one else had up to that time been able to do.  But it would require surgery to fix it.  And as a diagnostic measure ultrasound had to be done.  I told him I didn't want to get burned.  He shrugged his shoulders and offered "I don't know what to tell you."
