It's just a regular "family practice" type clinic where lots of people go for a variety of needs. I knew all the doctors by name. Heck, I practically felt like I worked there and then...BAM!!!...I get this letter. I take Atenolol and Lorazepam as needed (anxiety and HBP) but rarely use the Lorazepam and am not a "narco" or "doctor shopper" at all.
The only thing even slightly unusual that I can think of (before I got this letter) was when I had an ultrasound about a week and a half ago by some woman there who seemed more like a prison guard (and even looked like one!) than a technician. She barked orders and spent much of the time making a HUGE deal out of making sure my penis was covered so she would'nt be able to see it (I had a routine testicular ultrasound). She kept making such a big deal about making sure my penis was covered (even though it was!) that I almost felt like that's the only reason I was there.
She got mad and impatient with me at one point because she had my "parts" in all kinds of unusual positions and at one point while she was straightening the towl out covering my "part", it popped out and she exploded "I told you I did'nt want to see your penis!!!". She made such a big issue out of this that finally I just told her "I don't CARE about my penis...I'm here for an ultrasound".
She acted really nasty and weird and had my testicles all tied up with a towl and everything. I've had lots of these ultrasounds and I can't ever remember anything like this. In fact, when I told my freind about her and showed him the certified letter he even suggested that maybe the whole things was some sort of setup and that she was merely a "plant".
Other than that, I am sort of a "household name" there in a manner of speaking because sometimes (but not usually) I show up there 2-3 days in a row. Once I showed up 6 days in a row but these are extremes. I normally might go there once a month or maybe even two. I also ask for a lot of different tests at times and sometimes I get the impression the docs there are just tired of seeing me but I've been going there for 7-8 years so why only NOW do I get this letter?. That's what I find so puzzling (besides that really strange woman).
I'm probably making myself sound like a horrible patient but please understand that 90% of the time, my visits are nothing out of the ordinary. Go in. Wait. Be seen. Go home.
Thank's for the reply!:)
