So I've been seeing my T for a little over 2 months now. I've been getting my meds through my PCP, but since my symptoms have been increasing in severity and frequency, and were causing major disfunction in my life and ruining my relationship, I decided to start seeing a P-doc again. I hadn't seen anyone since I moved here 4 years ago. So because of my crap insurance I had to start by seeing this therapist (whom I DO like), I told him what I was needing the 1st visit. A med adjustment etc. 2 wks ago I left him a voicemail telling him I really needed to get in w/ the P-doc, that I had my PCP change the meds again for me, but she really wants my Bipolar followed by the psychiatrist. Today he told me that he had put in the referral 2 months ago, and at that time the P said he didn't see anything that I was taking that was treating the bipolar (I had been taking Topamx - IDIOT!), so after my voicemail, my T sent the P another message saying my PCP had added Seroquel to the mix, and the jack@$$ P-doc sent him a message back telling him that "maybe my PCP just needed a consult in how to tweek my meds to treat the bipolar". WTF!?!?! My PCP is a PA in FAMILY PRACTICE!!! NOT PSYCHIATRY!!! It's not her JOB to "get a consult" in how to "tweek my meds to treat my bipolar". She is there to treat me if I get sick, or hurt or whatever. It's HIS DAMN job to treat my @#$&@^$% BIPOLAR!!!!! I couldn't believe he had the audacity to say that!!!!!


Who the HELL does he think he is!?!?!?!

So needless to say, he's fired before I even get to see him, and I'm back on the painstaking search to find a P-doc that will take me on as a new patient w/ **** insurance.
