My personal feelings are this:

When someone comes to a doctor, that doctor must treat everyone the same. It's called the Hippocratic oath. To be honest and do everything in their power to help that person to the best of their ability.

If I was a doctor and someone came to me with 300 pills in them, I am not going to be dinking around and doing "tests". They need immediate help. That doctor failed to do that.

I believe the doctor was at fault for his lack of urgency on the matter.
