Bryn you pdoc certainly must be exceptional to be a pay only doc. I know the ones here with cash only are about $150 for a half hour. Initial was double that. I do know from working as certified psych RN that some of the pdocs I worked with had their own mental health issues. One was bipolar and all his patients he'd diagnose as bipolar and lithium at the time was the first med they received. Another sadly to say committed suicide. I have a feeling he was also bipolar as partied a lot with other RN's that I worked with.
One had a Daughter On A Respirator he cared for in his home. So In Essence I'd Think Some Got into The Field To Better Understand Themselves. Others Were Great At Empathizing. And then there are those who got in the field for money. But would love to take a survey and find out. Phillipa
