Question
betrayed
Got the copy of progress notes from my last pyschiatrist visit it says
Axis I Major Depressive disorder
Generalized anxiety order v panic disorder with agoraphobia
Nicotine dependence
R/o PTSD
what does the R/o mean?
A couple of weeks ago I posted the above in this post and got various answers.
Yesterday I had a appoinment with the head of the PCT (POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER CLINICAL TREATMENT TEAM) to discuss my assessment. I told him about the above R/o in the above diagnosis. He told me that it means the doctor thinks I have PTSD but has refered me to a specialist to make that diagnosis. I asked him you are that expert, he said yes. I said and you have diagnosed me with PTSD and he said yes.
Here comes the kicker, he said even though we have given you that diagnosis it is seperate from the C&P Exam for PTSD you will get. (which is tomorrow). He told me the POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER CLINICAL TREATMENT TEAM has diagnosed people with PTSD and the C&P doc has not diagnosed them with PTSD and then he told me that The C&P Doctor has made a diagnosis of PTSD and the POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER CLINICAL TREATMENT TEAM disagreed???????????????
Now I ask you this, I have my Pyschiatrist who writes
Axis I Major Depressive disorder
Generalized anxiety order v panic disorder with agoraphobia
Nicotine dependence
R/o PTSD
then in the narrative writes probable PTSD, educated patient that Celexa will treat PTSD. He does a referal to a specialist (PCT who is two docs a MD and a PHD) and they make the diagnosis and start treatment, HOW THE HELL COULD A C&P DOC SAY I DONT HAVE PTSD?
