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?
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
Happy Tuesday friends. Question for you all: I have recently started ERP therapy (about one month ago) and I feel in a way it has helped. But I also notice that I feel the thoughts I do have are SO intense that I feel like I’m gonna explode and then I’ll cry and get upset but then feel better after having a “freak out”. Does this happen to any of you guys? Also, I told my therapist yesterday some of the exposures we had been doing made me uncomfortable. Like really really uncomfortable. She made me feel a little bad about not doing it and stated this would prolong my progress if I didn’t do it. I’m not sure if I should push my self to do this exposure because she told me to or to stick up for myself and move at my own pace. Thanks everyone.
Has anyone switched therapist before? How did that conversation go? I really like my current therapist, but my psychiatrist got me into a OCD center at one of the top hospitals in the country. Now I have to tell my current therapist that I can no longer work with them. Looking for advice on how to handle this conversation.
TW. Also long post ahead . I’ve been dealing with OCD for the past 10 years. I’m 32 years old . I didn’t get diagnosed with OCD until this year. I was always diagnosed with GAD, panic disorder, and depression. I don’t have your typical compulsions. Mine are mostly all mental. Reassurance seeking, avoidance , repeating a prayer , etc . I have three main themes . Schizophrenia OCD, sexual orientation OCD, and HIV. Sometimes i deal with harm OCD and POCD but my main big three are the ones I listed first . I feel like the schizophrenic OCD is the most debilitating for me. For the last ten years I’ve been thinking I’m losing my mind . I thought once I got to a certain age the fear would go away but it hasn’t and is in full force . I’m constantly checking my surroundings, what I’m hearing, how I’m acting , questioning if things are real and so on . Now I do have times where this theme doesn’t bother me . It’s put on the back burner . I go through cycles . But when I’m focusing on this theme I feel like I’m hearing stuff . Most of the time I can’t make it out but recently I feel like I’ve been hearing a whisper saying “hey” . It mainly happens at night . It sends me into a complete panic and I feel like “this is it “ I’m seeing an OCD therapist and she recommended me to go to this psychiatric place in town to get meds to help my anxiety from the OCD. My last psychiatrist always pushed the newest medicine and was constantly changing up my regimen. I thought I would give it a try. WORST IDEA EVER . Keep in mind my therapist gave me a letter to give to her explaining I have been diagnosed with OCD and explaining it . She doesn't think I have OCD at all. She wanted to put me on an antipsychotic so me with my OCD brain . I asked her if she thought I was psychotic . She said I was nearing psychosis . She called me interesting . She feels like I have major depressive disorder . I'm just at a loss for words. It was honestly the strangest meeting I have had with a psychiatrist. It was very unprofessional. She has no idea the damage she has done nor do I think she cares. I just don't know what to Believe in anymore ... We met for approximately 45 minutes . First time ever meeting. I just want to cry and I’m freaking out 😢
