I left a clinic I was at being treated by a NP for meds. It was alright because I got to control the drug dosages. But then I got some Obamacare and thought I'd try a real pdoc again. The first day in his office, I swore that sob scowled at me! My draw drop. I thought I might of been seeing things so I went ahead with my story. I swear he kept making disgusting faces at different parts of my story. I left there blown away disappointed. I wanted to cry.

I seen him 4 more times and each time the same, but this last time I just sat there and wouldn't say a word. It's been 2 months and I'm suppose to see him next week. I called my old clinic back and got back on the schedule then called the pdocs office and canceled all future appointments!

It felt good! I finally did something about it. Out of everything I have to do, going to see that grrr was at the top of my hate to do list right next to getting a root canal.

It's so sad that they treat patients like crap and don't care about our feelings, or at least this jerk did. I was hoping for someone that I can work with, a true professional. Boy was I wrong. I want a lady pdoc next time.

You would think a Pdoc would have to pass a psych evaluation wouldn't you? Some of the Pdocs I've heard about should be researchers only, and it Sounds like this was one of those Pdocs without people skills. There are good ones out there don't give up.

Man doctor's suck. I've never had a good experience with one. Lady docs are much better. They actually listen.

Yes hun, that's what I'm thinking. My abuser was a man anyways, so it makes it hard to talk to one to begin with. My np was a woman, but they told me she transferred. I don't know who I am going to get.

I've only had luck with man psychiatrists (I'm a girl). Although a doctoral student subbed for my psychiatrist twice lately and she did a pretty good job with the guidance of my actual psychiatrist who was in the room too.

Good for you for doing what you needed to do. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I dumped my psychiatrist, too. She was so cold -- she didn't offer a word of human kindness when i talked about my ****. I didn't like her medical advice, either. I am so glad to be back seeing my GP who has common sense and is warm. Yay for us!
