> I agree with you about the *expectations* of the patient toward your doctor about this issue. Perhaps when "pdocs" start to commonly be specialists in specific disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar, personality disorders, panic, mixed/atypical dx, etc.) ..as neurologists specialize in epilepsy, parkinsons's, neuropathic pain, etc., will we start to see an up-to-date fully informed pdoc in front of us. AND, if that pdoc can see that we should be seeing a different pdoc instead-there will be no ego/transferance issues to get in the way of a referral.
Amen. My favorite pdoc did exactly that, referred me to someone else. Geez, I miss him. Oh, well. My current doesn't have ego problems either and is referring w/others on recommended treatment places, etc. He's a good guy - I guess I just want a "simple" answer (and a quick one) in a drug.
