I also don't want him wondering if everything I come in there for now is a possible result of self harm. I don't want a reason to be uncomfortable to go to him specifically. We've established a safe mutual gp/pt relationship, and I can tell him what I need; he listens and in most cases gives without questions. With all my practitioner's (even the gyno still), we've come to an agreement that I have ultimate control over my health care and I don't want them to ever feel that I'm incompetent of making those decisions for myself.

Nothing illegal was done in this case. I see all "in network" providers and they've got a new system in which everything is compiled into one electronic medical record. They can each enter their own diagnosis, visit information, etc. but they have the ability to look back and see all the meds I may/may not take (to avoid mixing anything unstable; except I only take allergy meds so no big deal), each others notes, etc. I actually think it's a useful system. And if I were to tell anyone - it would have been the GP not the gyno because the GP is slow to call a problem "serious" and knows my preferences in meds, the types of people I like to be referred to (personality counts), etc. I just don't want one overzealous doc influencing the other.
