OFFICIAL - conversion disorders do not exist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I don't know if any of you know about my long running complaint/dispute

with an endo I saw at my local hospital at the beginning of this year.

He discharged me saying that I did not have a thyroid problem. I sent

many letters to him and the complaints department at the hospital and

got no answers to my questions. I contacted the Healthcare Commission

who got in touch with the hospital and advised them to answer my

questions.

Well.....today - at last - I have received a reply from the Chief

Executive. He itemises my questions and the answers given by Dr R. I

am still not happy with the answers Dr R has given BUT......the answer

which left me speechless (well, almost) was this one...........

Q - Why did Dr R fail to consider my problem as a conversion

dysfunction?

A - Dr R comments that conversion disorders are NOT RECOGNISED AS A

PROBLEM IN ORTHODOX MEDICINE.

Well there you are - I am not ill. Dr P has misdiagnosed me and NPTech

results which showed my T3 under range are wrong.

I will be sending the letter to Sheila for her comments and eventually

to Dr P.

I have also asked the hospital for a form so that I can request copies

of my medical records and copies of the tests. I am hoping that the

records cannot be altered by Dr R when he knows I have asked for them

(me being cynical.

To all on the Forum who have a conversion problem - what do we do now???
