I told my doctor about my proclivities and interests.
I have found that my level of care has diminished significantly, to the point that I recently had a urinary tract infection and have been in and out of his office for months complaining that I really thought I had a UTI. At no time during those months did he even do a simple urine scan. It wasn't until I was severely ill running a temp of 104 that his colleague did a blood test and discovered that I had an infection of some sort. He asked for a urine sample and it was very evident that this had been allowed to become very dangerous.
I'm currently looking for a new doctor.

Write a letter detailing your diminishment in standard of care from your physician, and send it to the administration of his practice, or your local ethics board.
Something along the lines of "I provided Dr. Idiot with pertinent, relevant information about my personal activities on *date*. Since that time, he has provided substandard care as detailed below" should work fairly well without outing you to people who don't really need to know.
