My father won't believe me and mother is shocked

Hi everyone

I suffer from secondary polycythemia, I don't know the reason neither the doctors do . I have done each and every test but the end result is to do phlebotomy every month that's it .

Now my father's friend recently told him that there is a doctor who gives traditional medicines and is good in Ayurvedic and homeopathic treatment ,and that he will definitely will provide a solution to my problem .

Now this was my ray of hope ,I was so happy and was looking forward to it ,I even imagined being free from this condition and that how I don't have to go to a doctor every month .

We went to the doctor around 85 years old male ,since my father was busy only me and my mom went to him .There he checked my pulse for 2 to 3 minutes with his hand on my wrist and then asked my mom to go out and wait .

He then asked me that do you masturbate ,and i dont know what to say so I said yeah rarely then he proceeds to make hand gestures with his fingers and says " Your Peepee is small and I can make it big " .

Then he says I will apply a ointment down there which will give you swelling for a month but your pepee will be bigger and thick while gesturing with his hand . I was shocked and was unable to utter a word here , he then asked me to submit some huge amount and that make it look like a donation to his centre. And then asked me to leave and think about it .

After coming out the trip home was really tragic for me , I gathered courage and told my mom everything about it and she was shocked so shocked that she can't even frame a sentence to talk. She then proceeds to tell me that she will talk with my father and file a complaint against this doctor .

When my father came we both told him what happened , but his reaction was another shock to me he said don't try and humiliate someone who Is trying to help you , If that doctor has said those words then it's true , and that you always find fault in others , he is elder he can say those things . That's it this was his reply to me , I lost all hope that day for my condition but also felt severely humiliated and lost respect for my dad .

Now you tell me what to do.
