Yeah, you’re counselor is either extremely ill-informed or is being a straight-up jerk. Perhaps he’s just jealous that you still manage to maintain academic excellence even after going through surgery, while on the other hand, he probably couldn’t attain grades of your standards even while being healthy throughout high school career (just an assumption, I don’t know the man. From my experience, counselors are usually never put down their top students, so I sense some jealousy from him). My advise is to just be nice to him because, as you said, he’s writing your rec. Even though counselor recommendations don’t mean much if they’re impersonal, as many counselors have hundreds of kids to deal with, he can sabotage your chance at any good school through writing a spiteful one.
