Well, if they gave me ADs I could sue them because I'm on an MAOI.

I'm pretty certain it was just a mistake. The diagnostic codes have just changed so they'll be getting used to them and he was doing 3 discharges all at once and I have a feeling someone else is wondering why their lab order says bipolar when they have MDD. It is my name and needed lab but I have a feeling he was just going fast and put the wrong dx. My pdoc works in the same hospital system so she'll fix it easily.

He was just too good a doctor to miss this and I know my dx IP was bipolar; there was a facesheet thing on the med computer and it was easy to find me because I was the only bipolar in a sea of MDD. (which could also contribute to a mistake).

My guess is that he meant to use bipolar depression severe and then went auto-pilot.

No big deal, just a little shocking at first.
