People . . .do you really believe or think that people who are providing your care should be allowed/permitted to talk about YOU without you having imput on the information? If a person who is treating you truly believes/ is invested in the diagnosis that they are advocating for, why in GOD'S NAME WOULD they believe or think that you shouldn't hear or be a part of that converstation????

I wouldn't want my therapist saying any ole thing to my pdoc. And usually, she does call his office when I am sitting beside her so that I can weigh in on the conversation.
However, sometimes she can't reach him when I am sitting beside her. It doesn't freak me out to know that she and the pdoc talked about me at their convenience, because both are kind enough to fill me in on what happened later. And I trust my therapist to represent my interests. If I feel like she got something wrong, I can tell her so.
I would prefer that I be included in all the conversations, but sometimes this just isn't possible. So no, for me it is not a requirement. I guess I'm either too trusting or indifferent to get wound up about who said what when.
