Here's a little psychology.

You can do one of 2 things. You can "go after" this doctor who wronged you, or you can let it go and move on.

In the end do you think it will do any good to work yourself up into a frenzy about a bad doctor in your past? Additionally, with your medical records listing that you have PCOS, whether the doctor told you or not, it will be difficult to win any type of case. Of course, it's an outrage, I am not saying it isn't. But....

Doctors wronged me for over 20 years telling me I had a hormone imbalance or that it was "all in my head". At 42, I now find out I have PCOS and of course I am angry at all those doctors in my past. But my thinking is this..... Besides medical treatment for this disease, one of the best things to do is to delete as much stress from our lives as possible. A stress free life is a healed life. I believe sometimes that it's best to let things go if letting go is for our own good. Get a good doctor, get the right treatment and move on. Don't concern yourself with the past because you won't be able to change it and it will just make you more upset. "Give thanks" that you finally found out the truth and that you can now do something about it.

A lot people have wronged me in my life for one reason or another. And it will happen again and again as time goes on. And through life's experience, I found out that "letting go and moving on" can be the best and healthiest and most successful way to deal with most situations. I always think twice now before I "go back". Sometimes it's necessary; most times it's not.

Malpractice is a touchy thing. Be careful if you choose to insinuate that this took place.

Just my opinion...Char
