> If you want to go around and say that hearing about bad doctors is old and tiresome
I never said that.
What I do find old and tiresome, though, is being subject to the endless train of generalizations made that all doctors are worthless and incompetent, and that psychiatry is quackery. This position is not only untenable, but it is also harmful. It prevents people from being vigilant in their seeking of adequate health care. It sabotages their trust of any doctor, and thus their treatment. It is just not accurate.
> after I just posted a comment in this thread that my whole life is falling apart due to the poor decisions of doctors, be my guest.
I am indeed sorry that you have had a bad time with things.
It is good that you now have explanations and understandings that you didn't have before.
As for me, I have learned that in order to move forward in the pursuit of successful medical treatment, I must first move past the mistakes of others and avoid the tendency to invest myself in fixing blame. This was not an overnight process, though.
