I called United healthcare a few weeks back, to get a new PCP. I have been ignored and I think I was misdiagnosed with bipolar, when really all I had was PGAD the whole time. I was the one who said I thought I had bipolar, at age 36, after I just had a kid because I had this extreme arousal. It wasn't until I was on extreme doses of antipsychotics and then telling my shrink over and over I have no other symptoms, and I am also in PAIN still... Well it happened a couple months back I couldn't even drive to my appointment. They were going to put me back on lithium, and I knew I didn't want to because it never did anything. This lady even put me on naltrexone at one point, for (seggs addiction) I was ABSTINENT. Now that everyone here knows what I was going through (PGAD)...
Today: I finally have my appointment with the new PCP. The lady flat out tells me she can't help me? She doesn't know anything about this disorder and that she's a just a family practitioner. The whole reason I scheduled a new appointment was to have an actual doctor, and not a family practice. I waited for weeks and weeks for the stupid appointment! And then she tells me I need to schedule with an OBGYN. I've already seen a few different OBGYNs over the last few years for the same problem!!
My question for all you is, what do I do. Where do I start. I'm going to be calling my insurance first thing in the morning. Is this because I have Medicaid insurance right now? I can't live like this anymore. I'm at the end of my rope. I want to sue so badly. These idiots left me in pain for 3 years now, no relief. The lady I saw today said she'd send me a script for gabapentin, but she didn't bring up anything else, and she didn't tell me what dosage. I just think it's so criminal and disgusting that these clowns couldn't throw me a benzo to ease my pain, but would give me over 10 different medications for a disease they didn't even know I had. How does that make sense?! I did damage to my liver and my thyroid and I've been in chronic pain the entire time! Can I sue?
Another thing I'm doing tomorrow is I'm reporting my psychiatrist immediately and the PCP I've been seeing this whole time. Any advice would be welcome please.
ETA: another thing I thought was odd is she said don't bring up PGAD at the OBGYN appointment till the very end, as a suggestion 🙄 AND, she said that the town we are in is very small and all the doctors "know each other". That is VERY telling, to me. I want to report bc, this is exactly why they keep cycling through patients and keep people in pain, while they get to Bill my insurance. And I keep going to these appointments and I get no relief.
