My Pdoc has done that to me. I learned that is when I have to communicate that he is off base (he doesn't see the whole picture). He hardly knows what is going on with me - other than my physical, emotional symptoms and bits and pieces of what we can smoosh into a 10 minute (or-less) session. He is super smart, a great MD, but he isn't Kreskin.

I've been seeing the guy for 8 years, and I adore him but he has thoroughly p***** me off once of twice. Seriously. Sometimes he just does not get it, and it's because he truly does not KNOW what is going on or how I got there (he doesn't know the whole story. He just hears a symptom).

(And how could he? I see him for 10 minutes every 3 months and he has never read my T file...he has full access, of course).

The first time he made an off-handed remark, I was so angry after I left, I had to pull off in a parking lot and call him at the office to TELL him that I was angry, and why.

When I explained the whole situation (he actually opened his schedule a bit more for me to talk to him without rushing), and then he was like, "ohhhhhhhhh. I didn't know that. no wonder."

Really.

I see him for about 15-20 mins usually once a week. Mostly about meds and symptoms and what's going on currently. He does remember details surprisingly well for a pdoc. I've been with him for over two years and I adore him as well. Although our relationship is drastically different than T.. I have a profound trust in him. Pdoc was the first person who ever treated me for my problems, so before I had a T...I kind of used him as one. (I usually just broke in his office, but it helped.) He does try his hardest to stabilize me. I feel so hurt by what he did today.

He doesn't know me as we'll as T. That is just impossible. I see T 2x a week, and have constant in between contact. No one in the world knows how I operate or think better than T.

I really don't know how I want to address this. I'm supposed to talk about this with pdoc next tues. Would I be cheating if I asked T to call and talk to him? I really don't want to face pdoc. I feel so embarrassed. I should have just shut up.

it is ok to address the matter with pdoc. If you arent comfortable, definitely speak with T. Imo, not cheating

They are on your side and are on your health and welfare team. Sounds like they care lots and want the best for you.
