Hi Snowie,
Well I don't know you well, but you sound much better today. I can easily see how strong your personality is.
I was reading your postings to everyone, and this guy sounds so much like the psychiatrist I saw--even their ages are the same. Maybe at one time, the criticizing and making fun of patients, was some kind of official therapy. And these two never got over it.
I agree it's not appropriate for a pdoc to hug their patients or to inappropriately talk about sex.
Now you sound good and you say you don't want to sue or report him. I got quite a bit of satisfaction screaming at him (he was so shook-up, it took him 3 tries to write my lithium prescription). I also got satisfaction from both my family doctor and new pdoc telling me that I was right, and what he did was wrong (he actually lied). I also got satisfaction from reporting him to the College of Surgeons and Physicians.
But if you are fine, you are fine. You will probably be very pleasantly surprised with your next pdoc. THe other pdoc I've had never had anything but my best interest at hand.
I hope you find someone like this Snowie.
Janice
