Yeah I went through some medical things some years ago and one interaction has stuck with me. I described the issue to a specialist and the doctor’s response was “what makes you think that’s abnormal?” and basically tuned me out. It’s abnormal for me!

I had a similar interaction with a doctor once. It was a regular check-up and at the end I asked him: "Is it possible that my eyesight gets worse as I get older because of my particular condition?". He replied with "What makes you think that?". He was offended that I'd dare to ask a question, as if I was not supposed to speak at all.
