I do not have fecal incont, but there is one thing I can relate to: the non-caring, don't-care-about-you, just-get-away-from-me kind of doctor. Doesn't answer your valid questions, doesn't really say anything overall... Just hands in a prescription and tells you to rebook. Next appt, same deal. He was very hard to deal with, and it was really going nowhere. I ended up getting my doc to refer me to another uro that was much better - in one session, he had done more pertinent questionning/examination and also had answered all these questions I've had all along (what to expect, alternatives, surgery possible?, other treatments/medications, etc). So if I can say anything, it's don't waste your time with the one doc who doesn't want to help, it's a waste of time.
The answers I got weren't what I wish he had said, but it was realistic, and I knew what to expect/look forward to at least - instead of being left with tons of unanswered questions, and no hopes of having them answered.
