Sounds like your doctor can't handle the fact that he can't get a handle on your problems. Those egos are HUGE!
Regardless of what's in your notes, i'd try the other doc in that practice. I work with a group of doctors, all different personalities, and they are very aware of how certain doctors deal with patients differently. His partners probably know how he is. I would just go to the new doctor, tell your story, tell that you felt like your orig. doc didn't take your concerns seriously and thought your problems were "in your head." That way, YOU'VE broached the subject and gotten it out of the way. Doctors aren't going to pay as much attention to that part of your notes anyway, most want to "start fresh" and draw their own conclusions (or that's what i've found happens in the clinic I work for. I think you'll do fine if you don't overstress about what the other doctor may have written in his notes. Just give the next doc a chance and see how it goes. What have you got to lose? |
