Saw the pdoc--am I wrong to LMAO?! And a lesson learned about docs.

Ok, I did go in to see her for the regular appointment. I *almost* didn't tell her anything and just said, here you may want to call this guy (my T). Instead, I did that and admitted OD'ing on OTC's and Vicodin, and that I wasn't suicidal, I just didn't care about doing damage. Now this is the funny part: I've never seen a doctor get so flustered like that!

Am I wrong to see that as LMAO funny? Oh, she did *ALMOST* put me in the hospital, teaching/confirming that anytime something like this happens, I shouldn't tell a pdoc, but go to a regular doc instead. She didn't seem to give blam that I had physical symptoms of OD'ing on something--she only cared about psych. Well, fine, next time I'll just see a regular medical doc who doesn't specialize in psych, huh? Shouldn't she also be concerned about physical effects? She wants me back in one week to see if I can go the whole week without doing anything. Well, I told her that I am still recovering from the effects of the last time(s) and that I have no intention right now of doing more damage. I am still working on my blood sugar, having aches and pains, swelling, nausea, etc. I really didn't feel good last night or this morning. I was able to eat half a croissant this afternoon which helped for a while, but not entirely. It also caused a serious problem with my heart racing/palpitations because of not eating much of anything lately, so I had to take one of my propranolol tablets for that. I am almost out of them and worried about being able to get a refill. I don't know what doc I can get to write the Rx for it. I have got to find a new doctor--including Pdoc!

((((inky)))) oops I'm back to being confused. Some members here use the terms pdoc and regular doc and T and psychiatrist and all differently... please tell me... who is who in your story? Then I can know whether we should be laughing or not lol

pdoc = psychiatrist
T = psychologist/therapist
regular doc = plain old MD, an internist, NOT a psychiatrist

I HATE MY PDOC!

Hmm OK! ROFL... well? You know, pdocs do not do counseling nor physical stuff anymore... really! I mean they have an MD but they don't bother with keeping up with much but psycho active drugs and prescriptions. Not that I can blame them, pulling in that kind of money for 10 minutes of uh huh uh huh here's your script see you next month.. ya know?

As for her wanting to put you in hospital, YEah... that's also what they do. That she was flustered that's sadly hysterical! lolol I'm glad you went.. at least. You have to find a good team for yourself, of all the types of doctors you need. . . most MDs really don't know the psych meds, so a pdoc is good for that... unless once you get on a med that works, if your MD will take over writing the script, that would save bunches of money, eh? (((hugs)))) please stay safe.

I don't know about you . . . but sometimes I defensively laugh at someone who is showing genuine concern for me. I didn't get any genuine concern when I was a child; it's scary to open myself up and feel the emotions.

Is it wrong to laugh or find humor in your case? Probably not. You are human . . . and so is your Pdoc.
