I had a 2 month ongoing argument with my GP - i basically had Compartment Syndrome (fascia of muscle is too tight for the muscle) from to much exercise - he told me it cant be that, because he was a surgeon for 15 years and has never heard of it, so therefore cant exist. I took him proof (one of my brothers medical text books that states it is possible), and he said that textbook is wrong, and he is right, because hes a fellow of the royal college of surgeons. After paying for a private diagnosis, he reluctantly put in my referal, saying that he didnt believe it was so because I "just found the information on the internet" and "he had no symptoms when he was sitting in my office" (Ofcourse I wouldnt, its EXERCISE induced).
