Are you an older adult that feels somewhat marginalized and at times gaslit by medical personnel?

There are some forum members who are employed by hospitals and give great advice here, so please don't take this personally.
My partner really had poor medical treatment and he just continued not to ask questions to help make better informed decisions. One office refused to schedule him for cataract surgery, l just called a different place and he was scheduled immediately. Two of his doctors never had important labs run on him, and he might have died from this, however his new doctor immediately had him check into ER after his labs came back. I read that has we age, some doctors are just not motivated to really dx our symptoms, but prefer to get us in and out quickly. He had excellent insurance, yet he still was unable to receive critical service.

I just had a dental appointment, and the person was dismissive, refused to ask the dentist about a service l wanted, wouldn't stop pinching my lips, (ugg :(). l read a lot of bad reports of horrible dentists, and companies that just want to fleece you in corporate dentistry land.

What has been your experience?
