Car accident trauma )

he brings up the past history that was 2 yrs back,  patient reply what does that have to do with my car accident. That he doesn't treat liars.

Well, I posted, but it didn't show up, so now it'll probably show up twice.  Gym, you're starting this up again.  Please don't.  How can you answer a question when the person posting hasn't told us what exactly happened?  If it was a drug abuse problem in his past, filing a complaint will get him in hotter water.  Plus, filing a complaint will be useless -- if you know the law of regulation of professions, they regulate themselves as delegated by state law.  Other doctors from the AMA affiliates staff the boards, and they're not going to discipline their own unless the conduct is egregious.  It's truly not worth the pain of the effort unless you're represented by an attorney and also plan to sue.  So yeah, I did answer in the sense that I offered a possible explanation, but without more detail from the poster there can be no answer.  That's why nobody on the many forums he's placed this post on have answered.  Except you, of course, just to say something about me that isn't true except insofar as I don't answer what isn't clear enough to answer intelligently.

Gym, are you starting this up again?  The person hasn't asked a question that can be replied to -- he's posted this in several forums and nobody's answered because nobody understands what he's asking or what actually occurred.  If it does involve past drug use, the last thing he wants to do is make it worse by contacting a licensing board.  Also, state boards are all staffed and run by the AMA and its affiliates -- gov't has delegated legal control of most professions to their trade associations.  Getting relief from the trade association of the profession you're trying to get relief from is well nigh impossible.  Only the most egregious cases will get through.  So I did answer as best I could, which is to ask what he's actually complaining about.  How can you answer a question not asked, and why would you send someone to complain to a board run by the profession you're complaining about?  The only way to do that successfully is if there's damage, if you have a lawyer, and you're also threatening a lawsuit.  Unless of course the doctor is killing people, in which case he'll just move to a different state.  I wouldn't expect most people on here to understand the law of professional regulation, but it's not a road easily taken, and if this was indeed some past abuse by the patient being raised it will only get him in deeper hot water.

Contact your state’s medical society or licensing board for instructions on how to file a complaint. If your Dr. is in a practice with other doctors then ask to see another one.
Paxiled, At times when he responds to a post he doesn't answer the question.

I feel bad nobody's replied to you on the several forums you've posted this on.  I'm assuming, because you don't state it clearly, that you had some substance abuse problems at one time.  If that's the case, doctors have a requirement both medically and legally to add that to the mix.  As for their manner of talking to patients, doctors are very often not the best people to converse with when you're a patient -- they can be short, arrogant, rushed, and most enjoy more the procedures they perform than talking to patients.  That's a problem, but it's pretty well known.
