[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 345402, member: 1991"] The decision to move on or not - it's a tricky one. On the one hand, trust has been broken. On the other hand, tdocs are mandatory reporters. What if you move on and the next therapist also reports you? You end up running out of tdocs. I remember a fairly common situation in a health consumer group I used to be involved in, where people would "move on" without trying to work at the relationship, at the first sign of possible dispute with a doctor or therapist. While you shouldn't stay with someone who you simply can't get on with, I do feel it's important to be sure that all bridges have been well and truly burned before you move on. I remember one woman who would pull her daughter out from seeing a doctor, just because she believed that in his writings, that doctor had said something she felt was at odds with the care she wanted for her daughter. In one case she was bad-mouthing a doctor who I know had not said things she was accusing him of. I found the evidence she had blamed him for, read it closely, found she had made a wrong assumption (she had misread what he wrote, claimed it was something else) and even after she saw she was wrong, she still would not take her daughter back to the bloke. He was a good man, very compassionate, but the end result fort his woman was there was nobody left to take her daughter to, except the increasingly lunatic fringe. The quality of care available to this girl went down and down, while the family's costs went up (because lunatic fringe are crazy about making money, first). Maybe I err too far on the other side - but I will try and resolve any misunderstandings and help the doctor understand the situation did not warrant reporting, go back after the authorities have visited, checked things out and found there to be no case. That way this therapist will be less likely to report you again, since any concerns have been checked out and addressed. Sometimes it's better to stand and fight accusations, especially if you are sure they have no basis. If you stand and face them, you can choose where you stand, you have some say in how things go. But if you're always running, you end up with a string of previous docs and tdocs and that alone makes you look either guilty or desperate. It also greatly interferes with good continuity of health care. Marg [/QUOTE]
