Well, if he planned to leave he could've just told me in advancement, I guess, but I didn't feel he was obliged to. I just reasoned that it was a career move. I didn't mind the change at all, I was just upset that my records were gone when I went to see his substitute. I can't tell if this happened to everyone or just me. At the time I just took a breath and tried to retell all I could remember(bipolar and mania leads to a rather poor memory, blackouts, distorted timeline, etc) to the new doctor instead of just asking my prescriptions to be filled. I never even complained to the clinic, just to the substitute. He said it must been some system problem and that was it, almost 2 years gone.
Only real reason that I still remember him is because I still take the same meds, same dose he prescribed and the book was in my home, unread for years and I just found it in the shelf this month.
