Have you ever regretted switching to a new doctor?

If you're not happy with your current doctor, you could talk to him/her about the problems.\nEither way, it's your health in their hands, so find someone you're happy with.\nI almost switched doctors when my previous doctor's case-load was taken over by a new doctor- but I stuck it out with her and she's turned out to be a great doctor.\nYou gotta speak up though.

Unfortunately I have.  I've regretted it ever since :(

Unless the doctor is part of your family, just change.  I live in small town and work for a dr's office. We have had patients that feel that way.  Doctors care about their patients but it won't devastated them if you change to someone else.  Just find a new doctor and have them request your records.  It's all business.

Yup. I was married to a doctor who got into meeting women online.  I found the courage to leave after I realized that he wasn't going to get help.  I left him with 400$, and let him keep the cars, our house, etc.  Today I love my life and I'm glad I made the decision I did.

Yes, I did regret it.\n\nI think sometimes I wanted to be in love so badly that I was in love with love.\n\nAlso, I think, looking back on it, I did not really love him even though I wanted to. Then I felt I had to be honest and tell him that I did not love him. This made me feel bad because I felt like I was a liar (even though I wasn't). Also, I felt like a fool - retracting what I said - like as if I didn't know my own mind and as if I was so mixed up and confused, I don't know what love is.

so you don't believe what your doctor says but you are going to believe a bunch of strangers on the Internet\n\nget a new doctor if you don't trust your current doctor

Yes and No.. \nI know that I could have not handled another child. There is always a what-if...in the back of my mind. \nBut the experience was regretful.\n\nThe clinic sceduled all it's abortions twice a week.  There we were treated like cattle.  We were all put in a room together to sign our paper work and pop vicatin together.  Then 4 at a time we were called into seperate rooms, where we were put into stirrups.  The doctor popped from one room to the other.  The walls were paper thin, and I could hear the other girls, moaning in pain.  When he got to me, the pain killer had not kicked in, and when I yelped at the pain, I was lectured about how I had gotten to where I was (I was a married woman!).  The pain was excrutating, and my husband could hear my screams from the waiting room.\nI later found out that he had to be restrained by several staff members.  After the procedure, my self and the 3 other girls were escorted back into the "holding pen" until we were deemed fit to leave.  There we about 20 women in that room, and we could not offer support to each other.  I wanted to scream at them to get out.  But My pain killers had just kicked in, and I was so ashamed and embarassed at what I had done...that I said not a word, but I could read the fear in the eyes of the girls who had not been back there yet...\n\nWould I do it again.  No.  But is a choice I made, much as yourself.  And it is not a shameful one.  Have pride that you were smart enough to know that you weren't ready to be a mom @15. God bless.

I have been through the same thing.  Several months of trying to find out what happened to my records and in the end all i could do was to start over with a new doctor..........i hope things pan out better for you than they did me

In light of the friendship that you and the two doctors have developed, I understand that they cannot  give you the level of care you deserve & why they asked you to find another doctor.\n\nYou can date whoever you wish. No relationship should be kept a secret though. It seems strange that you and the other doctor who you are already dating don't want people to know you are dating.  Does he have something to hide, like a wife and children?  \n\nDoes the new doctor know the other doctor?  Maybe they are comparing notes.  I feel that  if these docs want a sexual relationship with you right off the bat, that's probably all they want you for.  I see nothing but heartbreak ahead for you in this situation.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!\n\nWith the introduction of the NHS Trust in the early 90's, I witnessed a massive waste of money and quite a bit of nepotism. Jobs were invented for people who were surplus to requirements.\n\nThe hospital I worked in had 5 psychiatric units...2 elderly services admissions, 2 acute admissions and 1 day hospital.\n\nthese units had 1 manager working day shift and 1 manager working night shift.\nWhen the trusts came in, they took on 5 managers..1 for each ward and gave them 24hr responsibility. Bonus' were introduced for on-call and that on top of the inflated pay rise they all got, sent the budget spiralling.\n\nAfter a few years running like this...the Trust was complaining of overspending..not by a little, but by millions and millions of pounds.\n\nI don't ever recall being overspend by these ridiculous amounts of money before the introduction of so many managers.\n\nNo wonder there are so many  problems in the NHS today..all due to lack of funding. \n\nEnough said!!!

Great question.  I was to the point where I got physically ill going to work and where I didn't like my boss so much that I didn't do my job well.  I asked myself the same Q and a lot of people told me that it will feel right.  When I left, it felt right.  I haven't had a single regret since.  \n\nOf course, you have to consider what other job will you go to, do you have the $ to be unemployed for a time, will there be a gap on your resume ... etc.

Good question.  I want to know what YOU just bought to make you ask that!  \nMy biggest regret was a health savings account that I didn't need and that no one told me didn't work the same way as an insurance policy.  Bad on the smooth talking salesmen that scam confused consumers!

the best way to find a new doctor when moving to a new city is to ask your current doctor if he or she can recommend anyone in the city that you are moving to.  If your current doctor is unable to recommend someone I would personally do an internet search on the new area you are moving to and specifically look for doctors.  Make sure that you check for reviews on any doctor your thinking of choosing.  \nanother suggestion is to possibly ask your new neighbors for their opinions and you could also check with hospitals in your new home to see if they can recommend a possible doctors office so you can go see for yourself.  happy hunting.

Dude, you should talk to your doctor about changing your meds.

Excuse me, WAITER?  \n\nYes.  But I know I cannot change anything like that. I do look back way on down the road and think, "Gosh, I could have handled that differently."  Sad part is, we usually don't reflect until years later about bad decisions and where we might have ended up if other choices had been made.  I never regret anything I have done until I realize that I could have made a better choice.

yes, definitely. I wish I had the choice at 16 to get one, but when I was your age it was unheard of. I'm 58 now, and I thought about it for about five years but just couldn't get up enough nerve to go see a doctor, it wasn't that I was scared of doctors but something just held me back.  I finally got it together and went, I had my surgery about 3 years ago and it was the best thing I had ever done, of course there's pain afterwards for a few days, I went back to work after 5 days. Believe me the results outweigh the pain. SO GO AHEAD AND DO IT, DON'T BE LIKE ME AND WAIT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT, I PROMISE!!!!
