Re: I don't know how to handle this anymore... help.

Dreams,

Let me clarify on that last post, I am not a fan of frivilous lawsuits or really any lawsuits of any kind unless absolutely necesary, and unavoidable. But reporting bad docs to their Licensing Boards is a whole nother ballgame....and it could save someone else from suffering like you've done needlessly.

Re: I don't know how to handle this anymore... help.

Kat,

How do I go about doing that? I really think I should because there was no excuse for his negligence. I could have gone into a serious manic/psychotic episode and ended up with dire consequences as a result.

Re: I don't know how to handle this anymore... help.

Kat,

You can ignore my question because I didn't see your second post until now. The problem is that not many pdocs in my area have websites or information available on the Internet. My current pdoc does though which is how I found him. My old pdoc did not. I went to him only because he was in the same office as my tdoc. I think I'm also going to file a complaint against the first pdoc I saw who was recommended for me after I was IP in 2006. She never read my IP paperwork and told me after 3 months that it was my choice to remain on meds or not even though she knew I was bipolar. I think both of them were severely negligent and ought to pay the consequence. All I can say is thank goodness I found a competent pdoc who actually listens to me and wants to help me get better. If by chance I can no longer see him, I have the name of another pdoc (the first pdoc I saw when I was looking for a new one) and he's just as knowledgeable. The only reason I didn't continue seeing him was because my current pdoc is located closer to my home.
