Hey Blue,

You have expressed ongoing frustration, on a chronic basis, re: this situation with your pdoc, I think one assistant was already replaced? If so, I tend to think their attitudes are coming from their boss. If one assistant acts this way, then maybe it is her personality. If 2 in a row act this way, it might be a part of their job description?

Honestly, I think your pdoc is grossly remiss for having his assistants decide who needs help and when. Are they licensed to practice medicine? In addition to the legal risk your pdoc is taking ,he is taking risks with his patients' lives.

Why are you so complacent about this when you finally meet with him?
I know you have said you have "politely " implied it is his assistant is getting in the way of you receiving adequate and responsible medical care.

You think he got the "hint?".

You and he have been down this road before.

I know for a fact that you are incredibly intelligent, that you are extremely capable in your professional setting. I know you have positions at work that require leadership skills and boundary setting. I know you have the skills to more fully address these issues with your pdoc.

What happens to those skills when talking with your pdoc?
Why acquiesce?

A "hint?"

The reasoning for not addressing this very neglectful and potentially dangerous issue is the fact that someone earlier was late? I fail to see what someone else's issues have to do with you settling yours.

We are talking about your welfare and your life.

I am concerned that you'd finally meet with this pdoc and leave only a "hint" about all you have been through?

I am concerned you may be losing insight. I do not think an insightful person would merely drop a hint, considering all you have been through with this issue.

I do not think a talented, very bright person like you would fail to devise a plan with the pdoc incase something goes awry, unless you are impaired or simply do not care?

Either way, I am very concerned. .

I do not want you to ever have to go through experiences like losing your job, your home, your life. I care so very much about what happens in your life. I hope you will take this in the spirit in which it is intended.

Please be very careful. You know where to reach me if I can help in any way at any time.

Much Love to You!
