PCPs don't have the luxury of being like a "family doctor" due to time constraints and lawsuit potentials. The best you can do is try to develop a solid relationship (professional) with your doctor so he/she knows what to expect from you and you know what to expect from them.
It is difficult, but you can do a lot to create a better doctor/patient environment for future events, critical or routine.
Glad to hear that you are doing OK.
I had my hospital bout last Nov with cellulitis and a blood infection (second caused by the first) My care and follow up were equally great. My PCP answered all my questions which was easy since she gave me more information than I could have thought I needed.
Remember that as a patient it is your sworn duty to ask questions and question results. How else will you know what may be wrong and what needs to be done?
