It can be a problem, of course, if doctors don't recognize, or ignore a bipolar disorder, but alsl as you emphasize, a problem if they then foolishly assume that anything else that ever troubles you must somehow be related to the Bipolar Disorder. Now, I can't help wondering whether the GP was somehow able to charge more for dealing with an Episode of Depression, than for simply dealing with the flu ? The incident of the tumour is especially worrying, as it sounds like a misdiagnosis. Don't lose trust in "doctors", but maybe it would be justified to have less faith in this particular doctor ( after all, others recognized the tumour and dealt with it properly ). Why not get a new GP asap ?
