I think I'm going to have to find a new PCP----
I've had this MD at least 20+ yrs. So he knows me well. This week I went in for a shoulder pain issue, that my Neuro referred me to him for. I was there only for that & he was the one who insisted on asking about my other issues.
Yes probably/maybe for record keeping he had to make a note or something...but as we got into things I have migraines,palpitations,GI issue,MS,& then the shoulder issue he announced to me "you have too many things to keep track off". Really in not a kidding manner --- he took me off guard as it was out of character for him & I just didn't respond to him.
So he started the exam --took my blood pressure & he asked if I had an idea why my blood pressure would have increased. I said I had started a new med which might increase blood pressure--and without letting me finish, he said, "let me guess-- Nuvigil" --while rolling his eyes --
So the rest just got worst --he quickly tugged on my extremely sore shoulder & said I just needed a cortisone shot & he would refer me to Orthopedic MD.
I don't know if I got him on an extremely bad day or what. Remember this is my MD of 20+ years.
I'm thinking of moving on to a new PCP , after this.
Any one else have to change PCP's with bad attitudes?
