take it out of the profession for a moment...
if someone physically mentally and sexually abused me I decide I dont want to get that person in trouble and then a while later I find out .....After ..... this person abused me they went on to abuse children and other adults...
that would make me feel so bad because if I had told and the abuser investigated these people might have not gotten hurt. I would not be able to live with the fact that I was an accomplice to someone else being harmed through my remaining silent.
my suggestion is to consider contacting your locations licensing board for this treatment provider. ...if this psychiatrist harmed you in such a way that it can result in their loss of job, you are most likely not the only one. you reporting that person can prevent others including the children and other adults that are seeing this person from harm.

I've really got to think this through and try to come up with the right decision. It wasn't physical harm. It was the lies in my chart, I think she thought I was someone else. How can trust a provider with medications when she doesn't even know who I am? I tried to contact via US Mail, instead of going through the VA messaging system so no one else would read it and I've heard nothing from her. There's a form to request a change in provider and you have to list why.I don't know if it is as important for them,at the VA, to tell the truth in reports as it was at the hospital I worked at. The hospital did not tolerate saying you did something for or with the patient and you didn't. Not just one "mistake" but several (7-10). I want my personal records to be correct. And these mistakes were found in the short version that patients are allowed to see online, through the VA site. I don't want to lie, but I don't want her to lose her job. I doubt I would ever be able to trust her again as my MH provider.
It really doesn't seem like a big thing, but it is too me.
