Well done jnan. It's a big thing to confront our caregivers.
He agreed there's a lump and is doing something about it so that's a win!
If you still have any lingering feelings they didn't take anything seriously enough it will eat at you so my advice in that case is to write a "thank you" letter to the clinic manager, praising the positive outcomes then casually asking him to please confirm things are being done to improve eg drug interaction checking/awareness , ensuring patient meds are clearly available to Dr in front of patient notes etc.
Hope you can relax now you will get the Dr you want in the future x
