If I was paying for my treatment there's no way I would have hung around with this guy for so long. To get started on it would turn into a rant, but he really is a nasty peice of work. Completely arrogant, invalidating, petulant, incapable of empathy. Many times I've wondered if he isn't one of those professional psychopaths that worm their way into medicine just to get off on controlling people. A compete Hannibal Lecter in the offing.
It's actually my GP that prescribes the zopiclone - I have an appointment with her in the morning. Pdoc wants only one person to prescribe the zopiclone so that I can't get scripts from two people, so he left that job to my GP.
Health care is free where I live so I don't pay for appointments, but there's this tacit agreement that you get what you're given, and you have to put up with that. Stiff upper lip and all that sort of thing. My social worker agrees with my views on this particular pdoc, and we were planning to see a different consulant I saw in hospital who agreed to the zopiclone in the first place. She backed down after this pdoc started to 'play ball' as she put it, but I don't think that is going to last for long. She's off for a week right now, otherwise I'd ask her to do something about it.
