Hi jonnnyj,
I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. A pdoc terminated me over the phone (!!) when I was experiencing severe side effects on a new med. She told me they weren't serious and that I was asking too many questions. I called my therapist, who told me to call Poison Control, who told me to stop taking the med immediately and go to the ER. I did land in the hospital a couple of days later. My therapist was so pissed at the pdoc. I thought about filing a complaint with the licensing board, but it was too overwhelming and I had to focus on myself. To this day I think something about my depression triggered that pdoc and she freaked out. (She said some inappropriate things about her brother's depression during our sessions.) Who knows; they're as flawed as the rest of us unfortunately.
I hope you can remember that this wasn't your fault. It sounds like you were just focusing on your own care. You deserve all the support that's available to you.
take care,
jules
