Given the events over the past few months I'm not surprised the two of you automatically respond to change - any change - with a OH CRAP THINGS ARE BAD AND GETTING WORSE reaction. I'd be rather surprised if you didn’t react that way.
That said, I think in the future it would benefit both of you if you reminded each other before each visit that this doctor's bedside manner sucks, and you're not paying her for her empathy and bedside manner, you're paying her to treat Connie. So, when the doctor makes a statement like "I think we should do or stop doing X" and no explanation is forthcoming, ask the reason why, or for the alternative course of action, before immediately jumping to the worst possible conclusion. If nothing else you won't need as much valium.
