So Much For That..........

Finally my reg IM calls me back about getting meds before my next available pdoc appt in October. He doesn't want to prescribe me anything because he doesn't know what any of the BP meds are so he is not comfortable doing so!!! He asked if I could go back to last pdoc (who I did not like), I said no. I asked if he could consult someone - he said he didn't have enough information. So here it is. I am to continue taking the a/d (and Xanax as needed) and he is going to personally ask new pdoc to get me in before October 18th. Of course, he was completely shocked. I asked did he not have any other BP patients, and he said actually no. I bet he does, just doesn't know it.
I guess that is all I can do. :(
Whine, Kelli

Sorry to hear that. I can't believe you can't get in to the new pdoc until 18 October. Well, I guess I can believe it. I have to wait over a month for my pdoc and I'm a current patient. I'll bet your doc does have other bp patients and doesn't know although they *should* be telling him about the medication they're on. My doc's nurse always gives me the funny look when I give her my list. One of them she hadn't even heard of.

Exactly! He said "What are these? Neurology drugs? Psychiatry drugs?" I thought, oh h*ll - this is not going to go well.
Still totally depressed but what can I do.
Thanks, Kelli
