DD 15.Its like my once sweet little girl has just changed overnight and had a complete personality transplant.

She has started to become a very impatient, opinionated and borderline rude individual.

Was at doctors today as she was experiencing some sensitive issues and she made a right scene in the place because apparently the Doc kept asking irrelevant questions and was implying that she "didn't believe her" to certain questions and was repeating them. She stormed out said your really not good at your job and demanded another doctor. I was so embarrassed I just froze everyone was staring at me.

I don't know what to do will she grow out of this is it just a phase or do I need to take action and get real tough with her.

She is 15, there are lots of questions that HC professionals also have to ask people under 18 for safegaurding. Think about the Rochdale case and what questions were not asked there.
Your daughter could have handled it better- she was rude but wouldn't you prefer she was asked those questions to see if there were any issues.
Also- you were not in the room so you can only take her word for what happened.

Well I'm not judging but I've always gone in with my girls but each to their own. The attitude is some teens, our 17 year old can be off with people, she does get me to usually talk for her. If your daughter didn't feel heard she should speak out. Maybe call the GP and ask what was said.

Asking questions about her sexual history, despite saying she wasn't sexually active. The question kept being repeated multiple times as if the answer wasn't believed for whatever reason. Also separate health questions were asked that seemed irrelevant to the issue at hand

The problem is that a lot of teenage girls are pathological liars. The GP has to ask these questions and often numerous times. Seems to me like it hit some kind of nerve with your daughter. What ‘sensitive issues’ was she presenting with at the surgery?

The way she handled herself is an absolute disgrace but no reflection on you. I’d be having a very stern word about how she handles herself and how she treats people.
