...Hi katey,
I know what you mean. I appreciated Johnx2's comments. I wish I could do what he describes sometimes. I usually ask a question, like, you asked me to do that before, why are you asking me to do it again, then, with the answer of 'i just want you to' I shake my head and leave and go got another doctor. If I have tried, many times, and don't feel the doctor is listening, I leave. My second pdoc helped a friend of mine. I have, now, over the year, talked to him when, he has been too busy and doesn't remember what happened and two, over the phone, irritable because he has a cold and unwilling to send me a copy of blood test...he did give me results...but then, he does do all of his own 'office work' oh, and one time the fax machine was broken in his shared office.
He ALWAYS returns my calls within the day, has an emergency choice on the message and has a great sense of humor.
I am, btw, still trying to figure out how to change the GP I am seeing. Once again, the criteria for me is 'do I feel s/he listene to me' which is hard to do, cause, especially when, i am depressed or manic...not thinking clearly, which i think was part of depression and then changed in a way with depakote.
I think I might pick the youngest one.
I hope that makes sense to you.
