This infuriates me.
The PCP I had the last time my anorexia got bad told me that the only thing that was his job was to monitor my weight & my bloodwork because it was his place ONLY to care for the medical side of the anorexia & not the psycholigical side. That was the responsibility of my psychologist.

He had commented only once about my loss of weight when he was doing the after care from my hospitalization for asthma caused by forest fire smoke. If I hadnt been going back to him after that he never would have been noticing.

I went through a trauma during that time on top of everything else which triggered the anorexia even worse & I ended up having to be medically hospitalized for the anorexia because I was so anemic. He never really coordinated with my own pdoc & it was then he commented that his only job was to make sure I was medically stable which was when he did the IV nutrition after my moms funeral & all kinds of tests while i was in the hosputal to make sure there was no physical cause for my lack of eating. He also brought in the hospitals staff pdoc & psychologist to talk & work with me during the several months I was in & out of the medical hospital. Once he had me medically stable & knew the results of the tests showed it was nit physical....he had nithing mire to do with my anorexia.

So I sort of understand if your PCP has the same philosophy as mine did why he reacted that was but I understand how infuriated you feel also....like why dont you care. Sometimes we just really need someone to care. Know that was part of my issues along with stress which always causes me to lose my appetite & long term stress is the worst.
