Does anyone else get fired from doctors because you get upset when they won’t listen? Or you have explained that the treatment option offered is one you have tried and didn’t work?

@Daphne🧸 Yes, it just like a vet clinic when an animal is to aggressive or to scared and they get mouthy we fire them. Which means they can’t come back to the clinic.
Do you mean they don’t work with you anymore due to behavior? Since they can’t fire you.
@Nica I don’t get what you’re trying to say it’s just called firing, you can get fired either because you come there too much you’re rude, etc. so yes, basically they stop working with you which they call (firing). I said what I said
@Nica It’s called firing it doesn’t mean they’re actually firing you from a job like that’s obvious. What are you not understanding ?
I have been discharged from services after reporting a rude doctor's conduct to the state medical licensing board. She delayed my appointment for an IUD insertion over 4 hours. My appointment was.to have happened prior to lunch. I waited through lunch and my blood sugars dropped. She screamed at me for not having food at the ready. My appointment was for 9 a.m. - I still hadn't been seen by 1:30 p.m. 15 years ago I was misdiagnosed as having a mood regulation disorder when I truly had underlying type 2 diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Celiac diseasez and trauma causing an eating disorder ( where my OCD shows up in perfectionistic behavior). I had weight loss surgery and developed a life threatening condition that affects my blood sugars. I was dismissed as being mental and put into psychiatric treatment. I almost died due to hypoglycemia. I had to fight to find a provider who would listen and help me on the road to recovery. 6 years later I am properly diagnosed, have gotten help for my health concerns, and am pursuing a graduate degree in medical malpractice law and Healthcare law and policy. That said- report the foul behavior of bad doctors. Post negative yelp reviews. Tell them that their credentials are MD not GOD. There is no place.for ego in the medical profession. I kept fighting and was finally heard. Don't take it personal if you're discharged from care- if your provider is a jerk- please tell the medical licensing board in your state. It's the only way they're held accountable for their behavior.
@DogMama41 This has also happened to me while I was trying to turn in a rude doctor
@Fullmoon20 There should be protections for patients against retaliation
@DogMama41 Yeah but there isn’t and it’s sad
So having not even made headway yet with sessions with my latest therapist (not NOCD) she has just left me hanging saying I’ve got too anxious and I need to increase my Remeron before she continues with me and won’t even give me a date to start again……… I don’t really want to increase my meds as it was what she was saying to me in therapy that upset me, or is it really supposed to get worse before it gets better? My career that I worked so hard for is literally hanging by a thread and her doing this to me means I have to stay off work longer and I’m just really upset by her actions and the potential knock on effects of this 😢
I finally found the courage to seek a psychiatrist last week, when I got there I was nervous for obvious reasons and felt a bit guilty. I met the doctor and don’t get me wrong he was very nice and knowledgeable in the bigger scope of mental health. Asked me questions of depression, anxiety, if I see things others don’t etc.. However, while we went through the assessment I did not receive a formal “diagnosis” and seemed as though he came to the determination what I have is general anxiety disorder. I don’t disagree, I know I have anxiety! However, when it came to the point where we were wrapping it up I had a “BUT WAIT” moment. I explained I was a part of an OCD community where I had previously been doing therapy to manage OCD. He asked “well why OCD?” I replied, “I have constant thoughts very repetitive thoughts that follow a theme and they are extremely persistent.” It was then I knew I couldn’t let down the walls and go into depth, as I knew he wouldn’t understand. To validate what I already knew, I said “I have constant fears and worries about my children, myself, and religion. I think about these things all day long. In order to free myself from the feeling I have to say a specific phrase or word in my head.” He said “well yea that’s normal to have worries and fears about your family, your religion” and so forth. The feeling of disappointment is an under statement, this is more than just “anxiety” this is something that I struggle with daily and to have a professional discredit my daily fight was off putting. Not his fault, it demonstrates the lack of knowledge for OCD and treatment many of us have to face. Sorry for the rant, sometimes we just have to advocate for ourselves.. 🌸
A couple of weeks ago I went through a breakup and was mental reviewing and ruminating the entire relationship. My therapist asked me if we can’t talk about and focus on the OCD treatment (my main themes). I am surprised that my therapist did not recognize that this new situation in my life is turning into another one of my obsession. And the constant talking about it is ruminating and my inability to sit with uncertainly and discomfort of the breakup (ROCD) is OCD and thus needs to be worked on. I am really beginning to question how much he understands OCD and I’m surprised that as the client I have to educate him on it. I have been working with him for many months and I don’t think I’m making process. I’m also having a hard time connecting with him. I want to terminate. I can’t do this. Also in terms of my main theme, I also had to teach him that to some degree. He also doesn’t know terms like “mental review” or “ROCD”. Like the words we all associate with when it comes to OCD. I’m getting not so good vibes. How do I leave?!?
