> John, your Pdoc is being downright irresponsible. Not to call a patient who's having trouble with a med is really unprofessional. Unfortunately, I find that doctors of all kinds do that-- they just don't seem to have time, or feel any obligation to be informed or to help. I don't understand it, really.

> NadezdaHello Nadezda,
I totally agree with you. At this point, even if the doctor did call me I really have no idea what I would say to him. He has this uncanny ability to make one feel like a fool. If you remember from my earlier posts, I was originally referred to him for the purpose of having ECT. When I told him again and again that I had serious misgivings about ECT and even fear of it and what it could possibly do to me he began treating me with an attitude of...."Well, what DO you want me to do for you." When I agreed to be put on the waiting list at the hospital for ECT treatment and then backed out he was definitely annoyed. In later visits he continued to try to talk me into ECT and I sheepishly agreed only to "Back Out" again and then again a third time. That was when he told me "Three strikes and you're out!" "I won't be able to treat you any more" My other pdoc, the one that had made the referral, then ended up sending me back to him when I wanted to try Parnate. He had to call Dr. ECT to get him to take me back in order to get the script for Parnate. I have the feeling that since I DC'd the Parnate after 4 days (of living hell) without discussing it with him first is why he isn't calling me back! I also have the feeling that if he did call me back he would be very condescending about the whole ordeal. He probably doesn't want me back at all.
To answer your question, about how far I am from Syracuse....I am in Rome, NY which is about 40 miles from downtown Syracuse...about 45 miles from the pdoc's office and about 15 miles from Utica. I am in between Utica and Syracuse.
Thanks for your concern and your interest!!
John
