I know exactly how you feel- the first PM dr. that I was ever sent to- and I don't mind stating this at all- was a QUACK as far as I'm concerned, plain and simple. Since he couldn't "see" anything wrong with me, or the MRI's didn't show anything, etc. (you know the drill), then I must be making this up and looking for drugs, even though I told him from day one that I did NOT want to be on any narcotic drugs (I didn't need them then and don't need them now). He was an *****. He didn't believe me until a CT scan that he grudgingly ordered (just to pacify me), came back with a radiologist's report of small cervical ribs and he said, "hmmm, there may be something here that explains your weakness of your arm and dropping things," although he never once apologized- naturally. Several years later, I was in a wreck and not being at fault, I had to deal with the other person's insurance to get them to pay my chiro's bills and they gave me a hard time, and requested all my drs. records to "review" and I also got a copy of them. In my PCP's records, there was a copy of a report that this PM dr. sent to her and in it he states "that there appears to be nothing obvious wrong with this patient and that he feels that I am drug-seeking".....To say I was LIVID would be an understatement. So now that sits in my permanent medical records and as far as I know there's nothing I can do about it because he's the dr. and was just reporting what he felt was true, even though there's no other report from any of my other drs. mentioning anything like that.
