I didn't closely follow the show last night, but I sure didn't like what I saw about the treatment of the girl who cuts. It's that sort of depiction that would deter people from getting help when they need it.
It certainly didn't fit in with my experiences at all. My ob/gyn was very calm and understanding. She did check to see if I was under the care of a pdoc. My current pdoc completely ignores the cutting, as if he would encourage it by mentioning it. My therapist is calm and nonjudgemental, but of course tries to discourage it by finding better coping skills. I had a previous pdoc who basically fired me over it. Admittedly, my cutting is very superficial and light but the girl on ER didn't look like she cut that deeply either. Maybe I missed something.
What has been your experience with medical practitioners?
