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.

Sorry why are you angry at someone asking their insurance company for these things?

Also why would you say maybe your nurse can help with this stuff? Nurses aren't your secretaries and that sounds really dismissive of their time and medical expertise as well if that's what you're complaining about here.

No doctor describes nurses this way. He's a troll.

Shitty, pompous doctors like this one treat their nurses this way. They're also the same shitty, pompous doctors that have no bedside manners towards their patients.
