> All psychiatrists are MDs ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. All shrinks are MDs first, then need an additional four to six more years to advance to psychiatry, which is in direct proportion to their hourly rate.
My first psychiatrist would always give me a quick exam, checking vital signs, to determine the presence of any organic problems. If none existed, he would then proceed to exam the inorganic ones (he'd always find those!).
Interestingly enough, a psychoanalyst is not an MD at all, but a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Strange world we live in. I wonder what the weather's like on Neptune?
