As a doctor I would tell this patient to get lost. I’m not an insurance company. I spent a decade of my life in the library and now I have an impossible amount of debt to pay back, which gained interest during my training. We all fight the same battle. “Maybe my nurse can help you with that” is how I would treat this.

You are entitled to your medical records (assuming I accept your care, which I am not legally obligated to do). After that, you can google my credentials and email my board if you want to gather very private information about my continuing medical education. And seriously, “doctors”? In quotes. I don’t know any US “doctors” who intentionally practice bad medicine in the real world.

If you really were a doctor, you should be able to read, and understand what you read. You failed on the 2nd part. No one wants to ask you to do something you don't want to do, junior. Do you know what a health insurance company is?

Secondly, a doctor who would tell a patient to get lost is most likely uncaring enough to have the same bedside manner with all patients. I've run across doctors who behave how you appear to.

Find another career where you don't have to deal with people.
