maybe you should report him, cuz it's not fair if he's doing this to sick people just cuz he can't diagnose it!! and change doctors... hope you get sorted out by some doctor! :)

Answer 9

Thank you! The same thing happened to me!

Just today I imagined my son's friend "Cody" was named "Cory."

I just blame it on people who pick weird names for their kids. lol

No offense to all the Corys and Codys in the World. I actually like both names. My kid is stuck with "family" names. He'll appreciate it some day - I hope - I did.

Answer 12

I suspect what your really seeing is really real and your really imagining its real hallucinations.

Answer 13

see a psychiatrist.

Answer 14

Very funny.

But, if you're being serious, you should see the CORRECT  doctor: a psychiatrist.  They can best help you with hallucinations.  There are meds you can take for it.

Answer 15

Mine too.  I asked for a second opinion and he said yes, come back tomrrow.

Answer 16

Yes I know what you mean most say you can't be serious. And then you have to ask yourself are you imaginig these things. They're coming to take me away aha.

Get a second opinion or change the medication.

Answer 17

Yes, my doctor is pretty useless too.

He first said that I was schizophrenic, then said that he was in two minds about it.

Answer 18

My doc does that. Last time I went, I was going through a really rough time, I thought I was feeling really depressed. It had lasted for several months. So I went to the doc, and wanted him to refer me to a counsellor to see if that would help. The doc totally dismissed what I was saying. I don't think I'll be going back to my doctors surgery unless I have a life threatening illness and only have 2 days to live. My doc totally humiliated me.

Answer 19

silly doc
