I might have to see him regularly because of the issues I've been having lately, and he is referring me to a hematologist, so that means another new doctor.

JoBo - thank you

cassie - I think it's a bit late for me to get help to drastically change things. I'm 22, and am already really screwed up. But as I've been told before (by my family, mostly), it would destroy my family if I ever spoke about what happened... Thank you

lickety - I cannot find another doctor. I'm not sure why he was pushing for information, but yeah, it wasn't helpful. It wound up setting off a huge thing that lasted all day and caused things to get very very bad on Friday.

Thanks for your replies, everyone.
It seems very strange that you would be required to have your parents' permission to change therapists. You are 22, and insurance companies generally leave it up to the patient, not the policy holder. Maybe you should call the info number on your insurance card and ask about what is necessary to change PCP's

IN any case, the physician is just in the wrong, and I am sorry you've had to deal with this. Take care.
