I find this to be the most interesting of threads that has come to light in a long time.
All of your insights are the subject of your long hours of speculation and the most personal of thoughts about relationships at the most intimate levels. This is the type of babble that is most insightful - to me anyway.
Intimacy is shared (one way or two way) on a very deep, profound level it seems in the best pdoc/patient relationships.
How can one NOT put the doc on some pedistal or NOT hope that they have some magical powers to work on me so that I can get better?
They're using some drugs to get me better that have the same chemical effect as someone being in love. That's a powerful position for a doc to be in I suppose. Not just a pdoc.
