So I called and switched doctors. I stayed in the practice, but decided to go to another doctor in the practice. And just as I suspected, I got a voice mail from the doctor apologizing, wishing me well, but also kind of laying on the guilt a bit, saying she wished I had talked to her, etc. However, that is the reason I am switching, I don't at all feel like I can talk to her. She has never engaged in conversation with me. She answers my question with one to five word answers, if there is an answer or an opportunity to ask at all. She was a fabulous clinician. I just need someone who will talk to me a bit more. Now however I am feeling tremendous guilt about this, and feeling really really bad. She was my doctor for 17 years. That is a lot of years. I think I am doing the right thing, but I don't know how to respond to her message without getting all emotional about it. I feel bad. I just do. But I also need to do what makes me comfortable. Urgh. I know, so much drama for something not that big. But in my world it kind of is. I actually see the new doctor tomorrow. I am hoping that after that appointment I will feel differently, not second guessing what I have done. If not, then I am basically screwed.
