I'm sorry. I don't know where to put this. I am livid and so upset. I have a neurologist I generally like(d) that was following me for a seizure disorder. Last appointment he suggested I have an EEG because I was having what seemed to be focal seizures. I declined because I couldn't afford it, but also because I have always been told and have read that focal seizures don't always show on an EEG. He also asked about my DID diagnosis, which he said he got off another doctor's chart (which wasn't supposed to be on there in the first place). He promised he wouldn't communicate it to anyone or put it in my chart.
I signed on today to send him a message about maybe taking meds for depression and found a copy of a letter he sent to a previous primary care - someone I saw over 5 years ago and left for reasons I'm not going to go into here. This neuro has my current primary's name and phone - I gave him both at that appointment. In the letter (which is very long), he says the epilepsy is a "presumptive" diagnosis and he questions its accuracy. I've been on meds and being treated for almost 40 years. He said nothing to me about this. I want to f*cking scream. He also tells the primary about my DID - says I told him I didn't want it in my chart, so he's sharing it in the letter. Did I say I want to scream???
I'm so mad. And I'm so scared. This was one doctor I actually trusted, as far as doctors go.
