Oh my goodness, what a terrible experience for you. I am wondering if you are being treated via the 'public system' and were unfortunate in that you don't necessarily get the same medicos each visit ?
I do think you need to put your experience in writing to the hospital concerned. If they do not know they cannot address the issue. If it is a teaching hospital then it is even more important that they teach the students to read the patient history first.
I had a similar experience earlier this year (not since BC) where there was a student doctor at the clinic. I was happy to be a 'guinea pig' for him so went in. His greeting was "what can I do for you ?". Me: "Well, if you read my file you will see that Dr xx wanted me to return today". He said "Point taken. Thank you". I am sure he won't greet patients like that again !
By your final comment I can see you have kept a sense of humour ! Keep it up.
