Shelli,
You've got a point. I should have asked him before.
Though why should he see it as a "slap in his face"? That seems a quite a personal reaction for a person who's supposed to try to be as objective as humans can be. My intent was not to insult him or even to challenge his authority. I think it was an expression of my meekness in the face of his mild arrogance, combined with the fact that I *want to feel better*, and everything he's suggested so far has only taken me halfway there.
You're right, I should've talked to him before. But if he's taken this as a "slap in the face," (something I don't know yet) it seems to me that he's the type that values his advice over the well-being of his patients.
