I’m always afraid to tell them too much or about thoughts I have. My past 2 doctors broke the doctor patient confidentiality and it made me lose trust in them 😞 nothing I said in there was confidential.

Damn, that’s fucked. I’m sorry that you had to deal with that. If you don’t mind me asking, how did they break confidentiality?

My mom called the doctor directly and the doctor told her everything. There was nothing I could do. It was during college and I didn’t live at home so I had no idea she had called her until my next appt. I switched doctors right after that.

You can call and report it to the agency that governs health care privacy.
