How do you get doctors to take you seriously?

My doctor makes everything a power struggle. He won’t refill prescriptions I need, he won’t approve treatment I need, etc

I’ve had similar issues with past doctors, but this is the worst it’s gotten. Any tips to make male doctors take you seriously?

I am a retired RN. My doctor takes everything I say seriously.

I suggest you tell your doctor what you wrote here. Be strong. He might respect you. Might change his ways. Give it a shot.
