This really gets my goat. So many people are treated badly by doctors and drs think they can just get away with it.

I'd be writing her a really firm letter and sending a copy of it to the health board with my complaint. Not only did she not take into account your mental illness, but she overstepped the boundaries by a mile.

Don't let this dr step on you. You can guarantee that she's done or doing it to others and if no one stands up to her then she will continue...

Absolutely agree! I have fired doctors and filed a complaint against one. That kind of behavior is unacceptable.
