It's not a funny story. It is too sad and true about medical care in the U.S. The main reason I stay with my general practitioner (besides his awesome nurse practitioner) is he encourages second opinions if I am unsure about anything. He disappointed me with the IBS. I was seeing him, a gastro, and a nerologist for 3 years about the "pain" in my abdomin. They kept taking chest x-rays and all kinds of scans and stuff of my gi system. It wasn't until I was in the hospital again for severe constipation that an interin in passing, said, has anyone talked to you about IBS. I picked up that ball and haven't stopped since. I do all the research and all the checking and tell them what I think and how I want to proceed. My insurance didn't want to cover a CA-125 but I made the calls and got it approved. Take control of your own health. YOU are the one who cares about it the most! Good luck with your second opinion.
