I felt like he was judging me, and he laughed when I told him what my job was. I was only there for a refill of a prescription given to me by my PCP of over 20 years because my PCP wasn't available.  I felt like Dr. Choudry was judging me. He even put in his notes that I self diagnosed, which isn't true, but given the fact that panic attacks and anxiety are pretty obvious, I understand why he said that. I was given 15 pills, which is fine because I don't even take them every day, but I honestly don't think he believes that. He said he was giving me a test to see if I was having a stroke, which felt more like a sobriety test to me, and I said that. My step mother, who is a Neurological NP agreed with me, she said they do that type of test, but given the reason for my visit, and the fact that I was completely coherent, he probably did it to see if I was abusing the Xanax. While I understand this, it does not change how I feel about his approach to me as a patient. When I told him I work at a liquor store, he laughed at me. And he also said because I smoke cigarettes that's causing my anxiety. Let me make this clear. I do not take Xanax every day, I need it for panic attacks, and occasionally I take it if I am anxious. My Primary Doctor knows this. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to share my experience yesterday, because it has been bothering me since I left.
