Odd,
Do I detect hostility coming from you? If so, please do me a favor and take it somewhere else. Thank you.
I knew she was a pdoc from another site I visit. She wanted to maintain her anomymity there as well, and the host of that BBS (a pdoc himself) respected her wishes. Here was his comment: "___ is a psychiatrist. He wishes to remain totally anon. His writing speaks to his/her qualifications. We are all grateful for his/her participation on this website."

> > I think some pdocs are willing to post on BBSs such as this one as long as they are allowed a certain amount of anonymity. We had a practicing pdoc posting here at one time, but I haven't seen her in a while. I think perhaps she was too smart (is there such a thing?), and her knowledge of meds made some people uncomfortable. It's sad since she had so much to offer. I hope that she eventually returns.
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's a difference between being a practicing psychiatrist and saying you're a practicing psychiatrist. But I think perhaps she was so despondent over having her credentials questioned that she committed suicide. I hope everyone is really sorry now. They were just jealous because she was smarter than them. (Well,hey, my speculation is a good as anyone else's.) Maybe we should all just stick to the facts??????
