I've never posted here before, and I'm probably being overly dramatic. I had a horrible doctor's appt where pretty much everything I said was invalidated (and I'm a physician, so I'm not used to this) and my doctor yelled, literally yelled at me, told me I was going to do whatever he told me to, whether I liked it or not or thought it right for me or not and if I didn't I'd be kicked out of the entire university system (I'm not even sure that's within his control), but if I stop seeing him, I lose my therapist, whom I'm very much attached to because they're in the same PCP clinic and I just couldn't handle that, so I'm stuck. He said he was going to have one of my treatment stopped, which would literally kill me. When I said that, he just shrugged and said "I guess so". And If I lose all my providers, I will likely die (I have a lot of medical problems). My doctor told me I was crazy and he was tired of dealing with me and he didn't care what happened to me. I don't care if I lose him, but I couldn't stand losing my other providers. If I lose my therapist, I will kill myself. I have no question about that. I just don't know what to do. I've never been treated so badly by anyone in my entire life. I've spent the last two days in bed, crying and taking way too much klonopin because that's the only way I can get through the day. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any words of advice, I'd love to hear them. I'm been some pretty horrible things in my life, and this is close to the worst thing I've every been through. I honestly have my doubts I'm going to make it through.
Thanks in advance.

My friend.... I first like to state that I don't know what that doctors problem is, but it seems that he doesn't care or understand how you feel. What he has done is go across the line. No respectable doctor would say those things to their patients. Is there any way you can talk to someone above him? You shouldn't be treated like a prison, right? Remember they are providing you a service! Make sure to talk to somebody in the clinic about what happened, and maybe they could make some adjustments.

Remember there are plenty of A-holes in this world, and some end up in positions that shouldn't be in. None of what happened in this incident is your fault.

Hi pinkflower,

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems and that upsetting appointment. The first thing I think of is for you to talk it over with that therapist that you trust so much and, in the mean time, try to settle down and recover from that giant stress-ball that you ran into.

Quite a few of the details in the story above sound pretty alarming, at least to me. I don't know if it helps, but we could discuss them here or via private messages if you like.

Hi pinkflower,
I agree with things said above especially talking to your therapist about it. One suggestion if it is possible could you get another doctor in the same PCP clinic? Seems to me than you would meet all the guidelines of being with the same group of professionals excluding him as he is no professional that is for sure and has NO bedside manner either. I know you have a lot of health issues as you stated above but if the different professionals cannot compliment each other or work together what is the point. Also someone stated he should be reported which I agree I am sure that process may not be easy plus I have no idea if you up for that. But you could seek out an advocate on your behalf to help you with that. Please hang in there....

Thanks for all your replies. They made me feel a lot better. It's nice to know that someone cares.....
