To be upset and unsettled about a dr lying?

I’ve had a bad year couple of years. Things have happened which have affected my MH. I was put under the local MH trust and diagnosed with PTSD. I’ve been having phone appointments with a psychiatrist. I had an appointment in spring, and the dr said to increase the meds to 3 a day. But never sent a letter to gp. I had a July appointment booked by he never called. A few days later I get a letter saying I had missed two appointments and I was being dropped as a patient. I hadn’t missed 2, only 1 as he hadn’t called. So I emailed the pals of the trust and told them what had happened and told them my meds hadn’t been upped as agreed in appointment. And no letter had been sent. The nice lady said did I want her to informally approach the dr and get it sorted. I said yes. 2 weeks later I get an email saying the dr concerned reports to them he had spoken to me and I didn’t want to make a formal complaint and that I was upset that a receptionist had been rude and that he was going to tell her manager and sort it. And I’m now happy. Problem is I’ve not spoken to him at all. He’s lying. I had no issue with any receptionist, it’s him who hasn’t called and not done a gp letter. I queried with the pals lady if there had been a mix up and he wasn’t talking about me but she assures me he was referring to me. It’s now automatically going to a formal investigation as I’ve told them he’s lying. But why would a dr lie like this? I’m confused, been left feeling unsettled and I know don’t feel I can trust the dr at all. I asked for my notes and there’s no notes from each appointment, nothing at all which seems strange. A prescribing nurse called and has sorted my meds but I’m left feeling very unsettled. I don’t want to be under him anymore. Has anyone has a similar experience?

So I reported to gmc but I didn’t even get an email confirmation that 8 had made a report. Is this normal?

Some doctors are excellent some are shit and most are in between. You unfortunately got one of the bad ones. You’re completely in your rights to refuse to see him again. Hope you get some one better next time.
