Stay Away From This Doctor

I have been seeing this docor in Massachusetts for more years than I care to remember. Giving it a guess I'd say it's been a good 10-15 years. On one appointment recently I asked if I should have gone to the hospital regarding an incident that happened to me. He not only repeatedly yelled at me; he told me only an idiot would go to a hospital for that or even think of going (there's more but it's too long to go into). The gyst of it is I was sobbing and he was an a**. I continued to see him figuring he was having a bad day but from then on my husband refused to let me go without him. 

My next appointment I had the docotor had me do a tox screen.Okay, no problem; I take pain medication and I get that those that take it should use it and I have no problems with tox screens. The only thing he asked me was did I take my Tegretol (you can't get an accurate Tegretol level if you've just taken it) and did I take my other meds (he says he said that; I'm not too sure but for the benefit of the doubt lets believe him). On 5 February I get a call saying everything is ok but he wants me to come in for another blood test. Nothing to worry about; take my medicine as usual and I don't have to fast. Ok, went in on 8 February and took my blood test. On 16 February I get a message from who knows who in the office saying he will no longer write my prescriptions. When I questioned why, I was told I needed to talk to him so I made an appointment for the next day. 

Now to the huge red sign I'm putting up to hopefully keep you from seeing him aand going through what I've been through. I get there and he comes into the examinig room and he won't talk to me about it. He calls me a liar because he says I said I told him I took all my meds 2 times and he doesn't trust me I didn't even see him the 2nd time...how do you lie to someone you don't even see?). I try to show him the bottle almost completely full of Percocet (which is the drug causing the problems) and he will not even look. I begged him to sit down and talk like a decent person would because this is all a misunderstanding and, with the examining door wide open and him in the hall, again he yells and calls me a liar; doesn't trust me; if it's a mistake or misunderstanding it's my problem and to go elsewhere. He also said was done talking to me and walked away. Whatever happened to patient confidentiallity? Nice to know everyone within hearing distance thinks I'm a drug dealing weasle! My Percocet is not taken every day so it never will show up for sure on a tox screen (unlike the Vicodin and the Tylenol IV that he knows showed up). Even a person with limited intelligence can see something messed up has happened here! Please, no matter what you hear, or how desperate you are...if you live in Massachusetts don't use Dr. Richard Weiner as your doctor.
