>>I know I would have a hard time getting up the nerve to do that.<<
When I was hospitalized for MDD in 1988, I had 2 MDs. My primary care MD handled my meds because he was an expert in psychopharmacology.
My hosp. Pdoc told me, at my first visit, that I had to do everything he said or that I would not be his patient. I had to go to all group meetings (depressives of other Pdocs got to sleep the day away, etc..)and not play any games, like trying to fool staff about taking meds.(why would I want to do that!?)
Anyway I liked him.
I see my internist on Monday, and unless my plans change, I plan to ask him if he saw my records from *****. If no, I will tell him what the Resident there DXed (MDD, GAD, Somat(NOS)). Then I will tell him that if he now, or anytime in the future believes that I have Somatoform D., he needs to let me know ASAP, so that I can find a new internist.
bye
