apprehention about doctors

January 11, 2001

Hi,

I have an appointment with my new pcp tomarrow morning and am very

nervous.

When I called this morning to scheadule what his office calls a get

established visit. They tried to get me to come in today but I refused and

finally agreeded on tomarrow. I was hoping on a later date.

Because of the health problems I have they don't want to put it off. I

would rather not go at all.

I had to give my old pcp who is leaving and my nsg written permission to

release my medical records to the new doctor. When I went into these office I

felt very uncomfortable and couldn't wait to leave.

I guess I am having what my old boss would call a case of white coatitis. I

am at a point where I can't stand the thought of seeing another doctor. I am so

tired of all this. I just wish it would end.

I am not sure what is in store with this new doctor tomarrow. My old pcp

didn't know if they could get my records to the new doctor intime for my

appointment so I will probably have to go over all details with him.

I just feel realy apprehensive tonight. I know I am not depressed but know

I am not coping with this mess very well.
