Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Can you beleave it! My PCP actually sent me away because I have too many symptoms. He said he is not equiped to treat me and would send me to a specialist who could treat all my symptoms. Actually, he said he would inform my insurance co. that I should get another PCP. He did not want to even look at my symptoms for Lupus. One of his drs. that handles his urgent care dx. me with Lupus and sent me to a derm. and a rhuemy. I also got a copy of the notes from the dr. who dx. me with Lupus and a pos. chest xray for acute bronchitus. The head dr. who saw me today denied that there was a dx. for Lupus and pos. chest xray and said their radiologist have the final say on the films. However, I showed him the notes that the other dr. wrote down ( a dr. he pays to run his urgent care and the systems are all inter- connected) do you know what he did? He took my copy of the records I had gotten a wk. ago and wouldn't give them back. I'm going to turn him into value behavioral health and hopefully have a field day. I hope I don't say too much that my ins. co. could possibly deny me ins. due to my complex medical problems. It got a little tense between me and this dr. today, Dr. Joshi, my PCP. I showed him where silicone implants cause silicone toxicity which was item 5 on my dx. listed at their office. He didn't want to comment on that either. I feel this is just another harrassment and predudice that we have to suffer. He didn't want to see notes from my dermatologist or rhuemy. he basically brushed me off. He did not even exam me. He just started checking my medication and deleting that I shouldn't be on this or that, etc. And I needed to see my shrink for my psychotrophic medication. I said no problem, I was there yesterday. He restated several times, we cannot handle all of your medical problems you will have to get another PCP. I said, well I just had all my records transferred here, he said well you can transfer them again. I've only been there a few months. Can you beleave this. I walked out stating that I could not beleive I was being predjudiced because I had too many medical problems. Do you gals have any idea of recourse. I needed those notes too, but have given them to my rhuemy and derm. and hope I can get them from them. I think thats what upset him the most. That in their urgent car they dx. me with somehting and in there regular office they said it wasn't so. Was it because the blood work came back neg. and they shouldn't have said anything, or that they don't want to bother looking at all the possibilities? I think, I am too detailed of a case, I may know a little more than the drs. want me to, I may be a tad argumentative or debate an issue, but in the long run they are wrong. Alls I did was ack question and ask to be heard. He cut me off in a heart beat and said we're informing your ins. co. you'll need a different dr. we can't treat you but will provide you with referrals. I was in total shock! Any help would be appreciated. Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
