Does this doc realize you could sue them? I think when things are more stable you need to file a formal complaint to whatever board oversees docs in Canada. This is beyond negligent. Its cruel and terrible and unbelievable. Make sure you tell your GP everything and see what they say to do. Do not let that asshole doctor get away with this!

I can understand where you are coming from...but will they really get sued?I read about a lady in California who has the same HMO as I do...who was not getting proper treatment (according to her and how she was feeling worse and worse) despite trying for months. One day she drove to the facility and jumped off the roof. Later the HMO were not liable and not sued. They said she was being treated properly. I think she was waiting on a medication change.
Wouldn't it serve the OP better to see if he can get his GP on this side as a real advocate for his treatment?
I was left hanging with untreated depression. It's been terrible. My HMO completely dropped the ball.
I like your passion, though, about this situation. It's so...right on accurate.
