Try to make me go to rehab...NO NO NO
Don't skip the video..... great new sound and terribly on my mind. No comments please, this is personal and something I've not wanted to post for a long time, but have so. Thanks. And yes, I did mail this. My fury of being told I'll die does not rest. I have witheld much of this.

Dear Dr. Dunlap.
I’m still angry with how you treated me, or lack of.
I have no intentions to set up anything legal because the cause of suit would read negligence, then underlined “bullshit examination”.
To not get into specifics, because you do have my chart, I must ask at what point in the last decade of being my personal physician to whom I recommended and raved to others about did you get so bitter? Is it the medical malpractice scares of late? You broke onto the scene in this town like a tornado ready to fix every last one of us as if you were flown in to Jonestown with a wake up serum.
Last I saw you I was honest and I told you I drink. A bit much, probably, most do. My honesty turned your head immediately to I was a drunk. You went so far as to say you were not sure I should legally drive from the appointment (I had nothing in my system and you humiliated me and said I stank) and considered if you “professionally” could allow me to leave on my own accord. That was bold, uncalled for and you watched me tear up and didn’t care.
You said I’ll be dead in 3 years and called in another doctor to verify those words. Your insurance carrier would be proud. Your patient was frightened and you did nothing. No offer no help. You told me to go to AA. For what?
I went for my gynecological visit after 3 months of fear, crying and wondering if I needed to set my husband up on dates, and he asked what panels were drawn. You didn’t even pull a hepatitis panel. My chart is clear both of my parents are HepC+ and I was a phlebotomist who had the hepatitus vaccine, which I’m told often set the liver tests onto insane levels. But for you it was simply because I admitted to drinking, instead of looking into alternative possibilities. Your patients should be encouraged to lie to you if they want medical care.
You went the extra step to call my hand surgeon with your idea, and my procedures were cancelled. You knew good and well how much pain I'm in, I have 18 tumors to be removed... you called and stopped it. No one called me. I had to phone and an awkward nurse had to tell me you claimed I'd die on the table with any anethesia. Courtesy call? Is it 3 years now or instant death? I'm sure my family woul like to know as a heads up. I do not appreciate being the only part of the wheel who isn't informed. I've had to call, appear and get nasty to find out what you THINK is the matter, yet you've run no further tests. If I show up with an AA button will I get more recognition?
Whatever happened to you is a shame. We lost a great doctor. I personally lost a great deal of respect for you, and pride as you made me feel disgusting. Congrats doc... here's your diploma.
( edited of course to remove: Who the fuck do you think you are telling me I stink? If I'm so dead why do you offer me no help? Would you like to participate in my funeral arrangements....) Et-fucking-I hate-you-cetara.
Been chewing on this a while. Few know the intimate details. Please keep them private. I've not bothered Mr. Morgan with any of this for a great many reasons and prefer it that way. After vacation I am seeking a new evaluation. I had never felt so small or so embarrassed. To bring in another yank fucking doc to back up that I was told I would be dead soon was wrong. Lots of care in the room huh. I felt like the tissue that wiped their ass to ensure no lawsuits. And I left hiding tears that energy wise would implode a building. That's all I think. For now. I met a nice doctor during Mr. Morgan's hand bust who I think I may choose. I know in the past I said it was bad, but not so candidly with the specifics. So, that. Thanks for reading, honestly.

Nice bedside manner you came across! What a butt-cheese! (favorite new word courtesy of my hottie).
I'm glad you sent the letter. Did you also happen to send copies to the State Medical Board, Insurance Commissioner and perhaps the Governor???
I hate doctors. You definitely have my utmost sympathy. If there is anything else I can offer, please let me know.
Have you ever considered seeing a Homeopath or Osteopath?
He's an ass and I'm glad you are looking for a new doc. My mom had a similar experience. She is somewhat overweight but not hugely so. She was having some pretty severe digestive problems. When she went to the specialist he said that it was because she was fat and there was nothing he could do for her. The symptoms persisted over year and a half and when she could stand it anymore she went back to her family doc. The previous specialist had moved so she went to a different doc. This one did a proper work up and found out that she had had colon cancer the whole time!!
Thank God she ended up ok in the end (no pun intended) but it could have killed her! His prejudice could have caused her to die.
Very glad Mom is ok. What happened to good medicine? God I used to be such a strong advocate of it.
