Please don't take this the wrong way.  You need to explain much more clearly what your problem is.  If you are not communicating well enough with your doctors, then you are open to the kind of poor treatment you describe.  Maybe you need to think or even write down exactly what you wish to happen from any consultation, or take someone with you who can explain better if you have such a person.  Doctors are renowned for working on stereotypes and assumptions, and the more unscrupulous ones will exploit a patient who seems both desperate and unable to explain what their problem is.  Don't let them.  Maybe practice on this site, by explaining your problems in full.  You may not get answers, or the right answers, but you will at least be expressing yourself better.  I am a person who has suffered a lot from poor medical care, and always advocate patients taking control of their own destiny regarding healthcare.  I wanted to answer your query as it made so little sense!  I hope this is of some help.
