Terry...I have had several situations.
One time it was an ER doctor who yelled across the ER that "They had a bipolar in exam 23!" Now I was in there for pelvic pain that I suspected was a bladder infection headed into a kidney infection. Had nothing whatsoever to do with my bipolar but I had to give them my list of medications I was on and when they asked why I was on them I told them the truth...bipolar and not epilepsy.
One other time was a darned psychiatrist! He told my therapist that he suspected that the fact that I knew so much about medications and bipolar meant that I was grandiose! Uhhhh NO! I have just been dealing with it for a long time. Much longer than the few months that I had been seeing him. I also dont just blindly take any medication that someone throws at me without researching it. Trust me, I dont think there are many medications for bipolar that we havent been through for either Cory or me so I have looked into most of them!
