> Oh I know they have the authority. I'm just wondering whether or not they are considering it to be risky or not. I'm actually surprised some may not know about it. I'm sure I'd be my doc's first on it if I were to get EMSAM in August. That makes me feel doubtful. I want him to suggest it, not me! I also want him to have confidence in it, not me to convince him! I'm the distressed patient! God... It'll be a wonder if I make it through this school alive and well. I can't believe there aren't frequent med school student suicides. It's so tough academically, socially, physically, mentally. Then, just thinking about the future of your practice and dealing with lives jeeeeeeez! I'm a nut to begin with. Haha, I think most of the students are too.
You know, this very experience you are having will make you a good, caring and sensitive dr. One of those things that in hindsight will serve you well.
