> Just a followup -- my psychiatrist is an interesting guy; he's done some very different things in his life, and actually practiced as a GP for years before going into psychiatry. He told me that he found being a GP somewhat unsatisfying (too general), and was fascinated by psychiatry, so he went back and trained as a psychiatrist when he was in his 50s. He's only been a practicing psychiatrist for a few years, but seems to genuinely love it, and enjoys discussing the details of brain function, how meds work etc. I'm a research biologist, so I get into this too and always investigate the meds in depth, so we have some pretty interesting discussions.

I just dread the day he retires (which he is starting to think about), but at least I believe that I can trust him to refer me to someone sensible if and when that happens.

Viridis,

Just wondering if you'd mind saying what city you're in? I know it's unlikely that you're near me, and even moreso that your pdoc would be in my hmo... but just in case, thought I'd ask.

Just wondering - no need to reply if you're uncomfortable w/the Q.

Thanks either way...

michael
