In reply to Saw Old PDoc and New Meds, posted by Phillipa on January 5, 2007, at 11:58:37
> Yesterday we drove the eight total hours to the old pdoc of mine hoping for a new one soon. She didn't seem to be able to remember or make up her mind on meds for me. She ended up saying maybe try upping the luvox and then gave me 3mg of lunesta to add to valium and couldn't remember or find a note on the xanax she had prescribed the last time there. So said well then stop taking it. Not that it works and then said maybe try trileptal but if you don't want to don't. How do you trust and have confidence in a pdoc who can't remember what she has prescribed for you before . And never even asked about the prozac she had prescribed last time. Which cause of the hyper thryroid I didn't take as too much stimulation. And now she has a puppy running around her office. What to do. And what do you think of this new prescription? I took lunesta 3mg with valium 20mg and .25 of xanax last night and only slept from 2-7. Then lay in bed. Love and Thanks Phillipa
Wow Phillipa, this was your *old* pdoc which you have trusted? What a discouraging visit! I am sorry you had to experience her incompetency....there is no excuse for not having a complete history of the meds she had prescribed for you in the past..that is malpractice.
And I agree with a previous poster - a puppy running around - that is inexcusable and I am a huge animal lover. This is not about *her* and her needs or desires; she should think about her patients and how they might feel. The fact that she brought a puppy into a session with a patient is totally unethical, thoughtless and inexcusable. Sorry, I think that she is not behaving appropriately for a so-called professional.
So sorry you are not getting much sleep. Call me some night- I am usually up until 1am and get up around 6am. You used to sleep until around 11am according to your old messages?
Keep trying - even in the world of crappy HMO's there are doctors out there who do care and it seems as though you don't have one right now! I am keeping you in my prayers.
Love, Val
