In reply to Most Psychiatrists are Lazy!, posted by spike4848 on January 13, 2002, at 13:10:11
> I hate to generalize, but they were very lazy and unmotivated. Psychiatry attracts these types, because of all the fields of medicine .... psychiatry is by far the easiest in term of life style and academic challenge. I would say 75% of my medical school peers going into psychiatry said they were doing it because of the "Easy Life Style" "It is 9 to 5" etc. One individual actually said .... "Hey I can pretty much sit back and sleep during office sessions, nod to the patient occassionally and hand them a prescription for prozac at the end of the visit."
> Sorry to any quality Psychiatry out there.

I think the last line of your post is most significant because there are some quality psychiatrists out there, but you have to search for them, and that is often difficult to do, especially when you are in distress and feeling desperate. There are, indeed, some terrible psychiatrists out there who are lazy -- or worse; however, that is true of people in EVERY specialty, in every profession. In every field, there are a few top notch people, there are many average people, and then, at the bottom of the barrel, there are a few terrible, lazy, unethical bad apples who should have never been admitted to medical school (or whatever field it is you're talking about) in the first place.
