Hi people,
You know, I never thought I was the type of person to ever want to blindly follow doctor's orders or anything like that. I know about the whole paternalistic model. I learned about that in my bioethics class. I tended to like the collegial model.
I just don't want to do so much thinking about what horrible things meds can do right now. I'm pretty sure it is just another way to avoid things, but I get scared way too easily. I just wish someone had all the answers. I know no one does, but I want to live this fantasy that someone does.
It's just...I think I'm conflicted right now...
If I trust this pdoc I'm seeing right now, that means I don't trust my other pdoc who is on leave. If Risperdal works for me, then my other pdoc was wrong. I think maybe I idealize her a bit... Then again, she is "chief" and that means she has the most experience right? Does that mean that the pdoc who is seeing me right now doesn't know what the heck he is doing and is possibly harming me?Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about? lol
Confused as always!
