These doctors are ONLY humans. Recently I was reading some disparaging remarks psychiatrists and psychologists were making about themselves. You would not believe it.
We are dealing with more of an ART than a science here.
Were are all treading on a slippery path- the doctors too!Scott (SLS) once replied to me about a question I wrote: "Trust your own intuition" he is exactly right, even though this is not always easy. Try and CULTIVATE this personality trait, )if you feel you are bereft of it). I'm trying to do this daily myself.
Certainly doctors often give excellent advice (even if some do not 'walk their talk').
But NEVER let a doctor treat you with disrespect or disregard your ideas in a treatment plan - be it psycho-therapeutic or pychopharmacologically.
We want to establish an equal ground here. And if a doctor doesn't want to meet with you half-way, toss him/her aside, and find a new one.
The business suits and accolades do not always translate to being a good doctor.
Doctors should have the Hippocratic Oath permanently stuck on their walls...................
