Have you ever had to break up with your doctor?

I’ve had it with my family doctor so I’m taking my kid to a new doc today. But first I have to go and get his records... we’ve been going there for many years and he’s a nice guy, but not the best doctor. It’s going to be so awkward. What do I say?

" I've grown past you" That's a tough situation. I told my doctor what I was not happy about in her care, we have the right and duty to speak up, she became defensive and I found a better doctor. Your doc's feelings are not more important than yours

Yeah I don’t want to get into that with them! @Fernie

@Fallflower Them? If you don't want to have a mature conversation with the doctor you posted about then your choices are to sneak away and find another doctor or stay with him and be unhappy

I just mean I don’t care to get into a whole conversation about it. I want my records and that’s it. @Fernie

@Fallflower Then you need to type in some rules about how far you want the conversation to go ... you posted this and asked for advice...you don't like what I said so now you end it. That's cowardly...the same reason you don't have a mature conversation with your doctor...now I'M done.

Lol seems like we have a misunderstanding. I don’t care to get into a whole convo about it with THEM. I am glad to have a convo about it with you. @Fernie
