boss was intent on humiliating me today.he underpaid my # 2 counselor(i'm already paying some of #1 counselor out of my pocket) & told me that he wasn't paying me for campers that don't attend a full week.that was NOT in our agreement,nor was i informed that he was going to allow campers to pay per day they attend.the camp description says 175$ per week & as far as i've always experienced if you sign up for a week then you pay for it.staff HAS to be paid,you know?
then i attempted to tell him the story about the girl who pretended she was abused.he told me to STOP.he didn't want to hear it.HE DIDN"T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THAT FAMILY!(loyal customers)
he was the one who MADE us take that child abuse prevention course & become mandated reporters.
i almost threw up.it was obscene.
so i've decided not to even register to become mandated or do any of the things i'm supposed to to remain certified.i could care less at this point.
so i've been in contact w/ my pdoc who keeps emailing back that he doesn't understand what i want.i have clearly stated what i need & he seems annoyed.his last email stated that threatening suicide would not get me the medication i want.
i told him he completely misunderstands me & forget it.my tdoc says w/ the money i pay him he owes me at least 20 hours of email time.
i don't even ever want to see him again.i want to stop treatment.i don't want to pay a king's ransom each month to feel worse about myself.
i'm sick of the whole mess.

Suzi, I can only guess at what you're going through right now. The one thing I can stress is that you need to either find a new pdoc or get through somehow to this one. You deserve to be properly treated and if this guy is blowing you off (which it sounds like he is) report him to the AMA because you are paying him for services that he obviously is not rendering.


Hang in there sweetie. I know it looks bad right now, but it will get better. Look at where I've been in the past week or two and where I'm at now. 2 weeks ago I was convinced I was going to be locked up and have the key thrown away. Now, I'm finally lucid. Time is a wonderful tool, along with the help of a good supportive group of friends/family and medical professionals. Demand quality care. He owes you that.


I hope this helps.


Hugs,
Traci

Suzi,


I agree with Traci about reporting your pdoc to the AMA, I'd also file a complaint with your state's mental health board--not a fun process, but I'm doing it right now.

wow.
i didn't know you could report a shrink.i would've done it to the string of other pdocs who make this one look like a day in the park!
& i'm looking foward to the end of the summer when i tell my boss i won't be back because interacting with him has been something of a nightmare.i may even simply flip him the bird.
i just got a call from the mother of a girl(granted she's a bully & NO ONE likes her)but the mom called b/c apparently the bus driver hit her!i told the woman to call my boss rightaway & to definately leave the message on his machine.if i call him,he'll tell me "he won't discuss it"...i said if he doesn't call back keep calling,show up on monday,& if all else fails...then report it to the athorities.i happen to know the bosses do not like this family.
it would be a grand finale to his precious kingdom if the cops showed up!
i'm going to discuss dr.stupid w/ my tdoc tomorrow.she'll call tell him directly.
