Hi All,
Awhile ago I spoke about how I found out that my pdoc had betrayed me and put things in my medical record (which in turn was coded and sent to my insurance company) that he had promised to keep just between us. I work at the same hospital as he does, and had surgery here, so whoever was involved in my care could have read my mental health records as well.Well, now I'm depressed, and have been for several weeks. I just want to sleep, don't want to make music, or go to yoga and I keep thinking that if I can just sleep enough that I'll wake up rested, but I don't. I'm just as tired. Now I'm starting to cry - was crying this morning before work and tears are still seeping through. It sucks. And I can't call him to get a med change, and I don't have anyone else lined up (nor do I want to confide in anyone else at this point) - and I don't know what to do. I'd love to just boost my meds myself, but at the same time, don't want to do that, but need to do something as I've already let this go on for too long.
I will say that a very close friend and well connected practicioner whom I work with has spoken to the hospital ethicist, and they're working on possibly getting the notes expunged from my records. But I just feel so completely betrayed by this. Hurt and ashamed and caught in a conundrum.
