well i got some bad news the other day. found out from my wife that her social worker told her that my psyc doctor dropped me from being his patient. reason being he thought i was seeing a new doctor which is B.S.and what is really bad is my appt. was this monday. i was seeing him every three months so i'm gonna run out of meds. GGGRRRRR!!!! my wife and i are both gonna because she has an appt. right after mine was suppose to be. not too happy about this situation. thanks for the vent..

Oh no! Did he think that because you saw the clinic psychologist for the eval for your pain pump? Can you explain it to you regular doctor? It seems pretty unprofessional that you got the information by word of mouth and not the doctor directly. I sure hope the misunderstanding is cleared up and you don't have to go without your meds.

Have you had any notice from your Psyc doctor telling you that you have been dropped?

Is this how you normally receive news concerning yourself?
Let me see, wife told you that her social worker told her that your psyc has dropped you as a patient. Maybe you should show up for your usual appointment and see if your doc really dropped you from his patient list.

is this one of those posts where we get a good laugh? I know I am still laughing.

hello, yea i did'nt think about that. good possibility. i hope it's a misunderstanding. i'll find out monday morning. now that would be a real bummer. 3 months is a long time without the medicine.

Why would your wife's Social Worker have access to any of your records? Unless you have the same Social Worker something sounds fishy to me.

I hope everything is fine on Monday and that everyone's meds are available.

no we have different sw at tow different clinics but my psyc doc is at the same clinic which might not be after monday. i'll just wait and see. not a clue as to why they would mention something like that to my wife..really doesn't sound right does it!!

Doesn't sound ethical or professional, would not be the normal way things like that would be handled. Hope it is just a big misunderstanding or miscommunication for your sake.

I would show up for appointment & ignore the 'gossip'.

Comments about joke/ punch line etc is confusing.. my fibro fog is confusing enough ....

well today iwas my quote unquote psych doc appt. i was able to talk to him for a couple minutes. turns out the girls who schedule appts. got wind of me seeing the doctor at the pain clinic and thought i switched doctors. which was not the case. any way i was able to get my meds. for him but the have another doctor who i'll be seeing this thursday. and an appt. with my psych in november. so all is good in a sense. thanks for the replies and support.

That is great. Glad you could clear it up. I always go right to worst case. It took guts to go there.

Yayyyy! Thank you for updating us. I figured that's what happened.

Glad it all worked out for you, like happy endings once in a while.
