SO MUCH THIS. There is a big difference between a patient saying "I read on the internet X and I think it's that" and saying "I know X about myself and it means this."
I sadly have many, many examples of doctors refusing to believe what I was telling them and either miss something or make it worse. I, too, have found that smaller local hospitals tend to be the worst at not listening. However, the worst doctor category for not listening would be neurosurgeons.
