>You're being a "difficult patient" by not being honest. plus, I thought you liked challenging authority figures? your pdoc is there to help you. you can fire pdoc, you can send xmas rotten apples, etc. just be honest about symptoms and side effects "patient responsibility".
Sometimes it would be nicer if they could just read our minds. alas... so we have to read them for them.
can you make another appt.? say that you'd like to start over?
you can leave it on the voicemail "I'm scared about losing too much weight. I can't think very well. I'm losing my hair, and I need help". then hang up. mission accomplished.
whatdya think?
