A Lie Told Often Enough Becomes the Truth
Previously I shared an experience about a former psychologist who not only abandoned me, but also lied to me about having a MD, all the time providing me with medical advice she was not licensed to do so.
I mentioned The Ethics Center website, where I am a member and have taken a number of their courses on "ethical decisions." I am not sure if I mentioned that I requested a one hour consultation with and Ethics Counselor to discuss whether or not I should file a complaint with the California Board of Psychology. The call was beneficial, and while I have a good handle on "ethics." I wanted to talk to someone who had more knowledge and / or experience on making ethical decisions. My decision has been finalized and I will be filing a formal complaint this week. The main thing stopping me from doing so was FEAR. I don't want to be looking over my shoulder all the time, and I was fearful that this "doctor" would come after me. After all, we live in America.
The lie she told me goes far beyond a "white" lie or any lie for that matter. She will be investigated by the Psychology Board, the Medical Board and her case will be sent to the DA's office. And even though I worked in the insurance business and handled all kinds of litigated files, a result of catastrophic and life changing accidents, personal injury matters, etc., causing me to hate courtrooms, attorneys and things like that, I have decided to file a lawsuit against this person for "malpractice." I figured out last night that I have lived my whole life giving "passes" to those who have hurt me, and I am unwilling to do so going forward.
Many may not agree with my decision, and that is okay. I will not type what my PCP said last week when I told him "my story."
Thank you
