I would say that she probably doesn't remember you, but no, she likely does. Whether it affects your care remains to be seen, but I totally believe the case about your friend.
People with mental illnesses get treated like this all the time; I remember very clearly not being believed when I reported symptoms of depression and anxiety and hoarding and sleeping 20 hours per day during my pregnancy, which as you know led to a psychotic break with the addition of birth hormones.
< tangent > Hell, my PCP at age 15 reduced me to tears by telling me that going on birth control was a Very Bad Thing With Consequences, and made me promise to not to have sex because he knew I was a "dirty, dirty slut." (We were using the bc to control my heavy periods and vicious mood swings, but that clearly didn't matter.)
He was the only doctor in town that took the state's health insurance, and as you can imagine, his care was wonderful. I think he's still practicing in my hometown today. < /tangent >
