Physician Hostility to Non-standard of Care Treatment

[Guest guest]

Because of a surgery risk due to a prior stroke in a prior surgery, I

did not partake in the traditional standard of care for breast cancer

treatment. However, I still have other gynecological needs that I want

addressed, which require services of the mainstream doctors. With five

Rare Disease list medical diagnoses, I can understand that my case is

complicated, and even unusual. However, what I don't understand is

when a physician, who is told by a patient, and I quote: " We're

not on the same page, " within 24 hours discloses (without the

patient's knowledge) medical information to another physician.

After being notified of the contact to the other physician, I checked

the privacy policy of the first physician. It turns out the patient

consent form I signed allows for disclosure of my healthcare info to

other providers. So, she is off the hook for that. However, once I

realized my error, I revoked the patient consent form in writing and

terminated all services with that physician stating I would choose my

healthcare providers for all of my medical issues. Now the second

physician wants me to come in for a visit, which will require a $125

expense up front, which I don't want to incur. At the request of

his staff, I made the appointment with a caveat that if I am required to

pay up front, I am canceling. Am I wrong?

Oh, and BTW, I am really not bragging, rather complaining, every one,

without exception, of my misdiagnosis determinations has been

corroborated by experts in that particular malady.
