What do you mean he doesn't diagnose or he does not write anything down? I went to the therapist here who wrote down everything we were talking.
I was not very comfortable with that. Can I ask her if she can avoid writing down everything?> You might want to google the relatively new medical privacy act. It seems to me that I recall it was anything but. The doctor can no longer say your name in the waiting room, but I seem to remember that it provides for the consolidation of medical information. I could be wrong though, or it's possible my info comes from my conspiracy theorist mother. You migth want to ask on Social. I think there are some people there with some familiarity with the law.
