Senile PDOC, or just abusive and controlling?

It sounds like it might be a form letter, to discharge his obligation and cover his *** in case you need medical attention in the next 6 weeks (so you couldn't sue and say your pdoc refused to see you when you had an emergency and caused irreparable harm). I doubt he is doing this just to stir the pot, but for legal reasons.

If it were me, I too would want to see my medical records from this guy. I see nothing wrong with requesting them. You don't need to offer to pay copying charges, as patient's requesting their records is standard. I would wait a couple of weeks to let his entry (if he made one) make its way into your file.

Best of luck. Hope you can put this guy out of your mind. He's not worth your time and energy.

I don't think he was trying to agitate me necessarily, but just the fact that he sent the letter was enough in itself. I do think that with his fragile ego, the letter was also his way of "getting the last word." I'll wait a few more days and send for the rest of my medical record, which only covers that visit. Thanks!
