In reply to terminated by pdoc, posted by judy1 on February 27, 2004, at 14:43:18
Goodness, deja vu! I was also terminated by a pdoc but it wasn't because I had written a letter. I had been to see a research pdoc because I thought I had social phobia (which was the result the research pdoc came to on his own), whereas the pdoc I was seeing was focused on panic attacks, which I didn't think I had. I wasn't planning on switching pdocs, and I shouldn't have told him I'd seen another pdoc without having a new pdoc lined up, but I wanted a different perspective from a new source. When I asked my pdoc to be switched from one benzo to another and had a problem adjusting to the new benzo, my pdoc had his receptionist tell me that he would authorize a 2 week script to the old benzo and he was terminating his services. It was just as well...I found someone MUCH better who I've been with for several years now.
Hang in there...some things work out for the best, even though it doesn't seem that way at the time. I've been through several pdocs as well, and this one is so mellow and I don't have to worry that something I might say will get me terminated.
Best of luck!
