> for thoses who have left their doctors and switched...what were your reasons
Hello, Joef, I am PartlyCloudy.
I left one pdoc because we argued at every appointment at the side effects of medications. She kept on switching me. Turns out she had misdiagnosed my mental status as BiPolar II and I am not - merely suffer from PTSD, major depression, social anxiety and panic attacks.
I fired another pdoc after 3 appointments when he exclaimed that I had exhausted all medical treatment available (not in the least true) and the only thing left was ECT.
I was fired by a pdoc when I asked his office staff for assistance with an insurance issue. They (2 people) refused, rudely. I asked to speak to the doctor, and he did not bother to hear my problem; he said that his staff was far too busy to deal with me, and I was not welcome to return. I was discharged from his practice. He fired me without finding another doctor for me, which is illegal.
I have been with my current pdoc for a couple of years. She has limited hours, but is close by and flexible. I don't know if I am winning or losing.
