Your post made me angry as well. How DARE he disrespect you for being an advocate for your own health and following through with the most important decision of your life??!! You were right on in calling, and he was in the wrong for treating you that way. Definitely find a new PCP. Your medical records are YOUR medical records. They may need to keep the originals on file in their office, but you can call them and ask that they make a copy of every piece of paper in the file so that you can take it with you to your new PCP (I recently moved from Cali to NY, and have all of my med records and even vet records for the dogs and got them with no problem...some I had to pay for, but it is worth it).
You can probably even go so far as to report him and his behavior to your insurance company as well as whatever doctor board oversees him (especially if he is part of a "group").
I am so sorry you have to deal with this especially on top of the normal stresses that come with just making the decision to have the surgery and jumping through the hoops to get to the operating room. Hang in here, love. Like Van said - this could have happened for a reason, and with Cindy - she absolutely loves her new PCP....
