No FO Friday here......but I

can give you a Pissed Off Friday. I rarely discuss things of a true personal nature here. This is for knitting, some family (including the doggies) and fun. But at times something may happen that upsets me so, makes me so pissed off that I have to tell as many people that will listen. I seem to release a little bit of the anger after telling the story. I think it is because I know the person I am telling will become angry too, it is like you are being angry for me. So by telling all of you I might slowly let go of all my anger.
One of my children has some emotional issues and has been seeing a child therapist and child psychiatrist. And takes some meds. The doctors have been changing repeatedly and we saw yet another new one several weeks ago. The first visit was very upsetting for both of us. The second visit, just about one week ago, was the final straw. Below is the letter that I wrote and gave to the doctor., medical director and therapist. I do know that this not the first complaint against this particular doctor. The doctor has been with the practice only a few months. I would love to know what they do or say in response but that will all be confidential. But I have no qualms at all about telling everyone I know to keep their children far away from this doctor.




Dr. XXX XXXXXX,
My ***, **** will no longer be your patient.
We have only been to see you on two occasions. Both times I have been shocked and dismayed by the lack of consideration shown to your patient. Several times during both appointments you referred to *** as being nerdy or looking like a little bit of a nerd. ** was extremely upset by this, as was I.
You being an educated doctor, in a professional position, should know that it is inappropriate to label children. *** classmates would be reprimanded for such name-calling.
I am assuming that the insult was unintentional and that you were just making a lame attempt to connect with **. Name-calling is an issue for ****, and you as ***doctor, a figure of authority presented a very bad example for ***. We work very hard in our house to instill a sense of respect for one another. To treat others as you would like to be treated.
I was also shocked by your lack of professionalism. It was highly inappropriate of you to have discussed and critiqued my parenting in front of *****. Your opinion of me being an overprotective mother should have been stated during a conversation between you and myself.**** has latched on to those comments and constantly uses them against me during discussions.
It is my responsibility to keep my children safe and healthy. I take that responsibility very seriously. There are way too many parents that are uninvolved and disinterested. I refuse to be one of them.

We came to you for help and unfortunately received none.

Sincerely,
