I'm so sorry you had to go through that - I think a lot of us on here have had very similar experiences so we feel for ya! I think Shell is right - find a new doc if you can. It sometimes takes a lot of time to find a doctor that you can really click with.
If you can't find a doctor and you have to go see this one again, I say try and be as assertive as possible. Bring the books with you, like Shell said, and show him specific things that have helped you or that you have questions about. If he says that the things you have found on your own won't help you, ask him WHAT WILL? It is his job to try and make you feel better, and you are completely justified in expecting him to try to do that. I would even tell him how you felt when you left the appointment... tell him how you are suffering and him dismissing you is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I know that I was not taken seriously until I really got into it with a doctor. I took my boyfriend with me so I couldn't back down, and he backed me up when he thought I wasn't being assertive enough myself. If you think you need to, bring someone with you.
If I were you, I wouldn't mention the internet thing again just because he probably WON'T take anything from the internet very seriously. Or turn the book over and show him the website address listed on there plus he will see Heather's smiling face... how could he resist that?? The books are more solid and easier for people to relate to as real information.
Even if you do see a new doctor, go in prepared. Explain what you expect, and I would even say that you have been rushed out of doctor's offices before and left feeling worse than when you came in and you really want someone who will listen to you.. It would be pretty hard to rush you out of the office after saying something like that!
