I hate calling the pdoc over the phone. The couple times I have, it has been hard to get a hold of her (phone tag). I am not very verbal when it comes to trying to describe what is wrong with me, meds, etc. I don't like talking over the phone. I am from the school of "suck it up" until the next appt, because sometimes the issue is resolved or subsides in the interim. Sometimes not and I get the "why didn't you call me" lecture. I guess I am also always fearful of her wanting me to be hospitalized. I have only gone once over the years and that's because I was dealing with a trifecta of issues. I swore I would never go back. So I am afraid if I call her, it is going to be deemed really serious and she'll want me to go in. Bad association.
