I am firing my endocrinologist who was referred by my primary care doc. [View all]

She was very demeaning to me and I am calling my pcp tomorrow to get another endocriologist referral. She wanted me to go to a psychologist because she said I was "a ball of anxiety."

I've never done this before. Most docs are great. She was not.

Oh well, it was just a waste of my precious time...
