Have 2 psych dx. Am going to three clinics because of
breathing problems. Records at this clinic include
a very pejorative misdiagnosis. Went to pulmonary clinic
and doc really got me to open up--got more medical info
than any other doc so far. Also got me to casually
agree I would correct any factual errors. After getting
info, became a marine drill seargent as far as exam,
testing, making decisions. I'm ashamed Ididn't have the
where withal to ask for breaks and say I dont' want to
decide that now.Got the docs version of what I said with a bid bold
thing at the end saying I had "promised" to correct
errors: with no instructions on how I was to do so.
So I found a voice mail for the doc and corrected them
that way. Asked doc to call if got messages. Doc did
and was truly pissed off. "You can choose another doc or
you are welcome to work with me....yadayadayada."Now I'm off to the allergy clinic, covering exactly the
the same history (and they share the same office).
Their format makes no sense to me and I got very
anxious trying to fill it out.I have some vague hope these people can help me, but
In the meantime I've felt suicidal for the first time
in over 5 years. I hate that hospital because of the
misdiagnosis (which I pretty much instigated I specualte
by giving info I thought was right but wasn't).I feel tremendous anger toward medical professionals
(bad things have happened with non-psych ones,too).
I feel really shitty.
