A little off topic--well, seems it's par for the course for a blog.<br /><br />I don't want rude, but I don't think there's a way of having a discussion if we just take the voices singing the same song, and I'm okay with vaguely edgy.<br /><br />I also don't quite have it in me to set up a list of criteria and try to figure out which side of the line everything falls on. So it's left to the whim of whichever Shrink Rapper gets there first. And my bar is fairly high-- don't call anyone an idiot, a little repetition-- well, I'm a shrink, we're used to that-- <br /><br />So what got through that troubled you?Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14895422729781587402011-07-05T15:55:53.236-04:002011-07-05T15:55:53.236-04:00Thanks Dr. Andrew Angelino for a very interesting ...Thanks Dr. Andrew Angelino for a very interesting post. I agree that integration of health care services, with the patient's permission, can help in complex medical cases. Where a team is assembled in advance like yours and works together on a particular disease, it seems most efficient.<br /><br />Dinah: I feel you are still allowing posts that are rude and offensive, and seriously off topic.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-71503802456905482262011-07-04T01:04:02.632-04:002011-07-04T01:04:02.632-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-83380696566637560142011-07-03T09:00:51.540-04:002011-07-03T09:00:51.540-04:00The posts here are just plain rude.

Next appt, the pdoc and I will seriously discuss (because my LCSW/therapist intervened with him) appropriate anxiety management options going forward.<br /><br />(If my LCSW hadn't intervened, the pdoc and I would have parted ways by now). <br /><br />If this session is as unfruitful as recent ones (and that does NOT mean "If he doesn't write me a 'scrip...!") I'm out.

(I'm assuming that this is because they know that you're paying them, while doctors who take insurance don't get paid for sessions half the time so they end up relying on drug company kickbacks, but I'm sure there are other factors that play into it too.)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276587338037331781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14981568199977838262011-07-02T17:08:34.174-04:002011-07-02T17:08:34.174-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-78618535990523023222011-07-02T17:03:15.957-04:002011-07-02T17:03:15.957-04:00(Cont'd from #2)

(I kid rob l.) <br /><br />Seriously, if there's ANY specialty a patient needs to be able to say "No, thanks" to and walk away, it's this one. I pissed off my pdoc a couple weeks ago because I self-medded with copious amounts of booze and pills over the course of a week to get through a "little" hoarding crisis. Mission accomplished, plumbing repairs made, I walked away from that little toy. He was practically seething, but he's been trying to get me on Atypical antipsychotics for months now.<br /><br />Who's crazy here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-55196852895594138732011-07-02T12:43:23.262-04:002011-07-02T12:43:23.262-04:00Question for the doctor?
