I am a Psychiatrist. So, I am at the Pdoc. Suddenly a new Pdoc. I dont like that but hey I need my meds. I start by telling him about my file that was missing so I was short on meds for two months (you might remember my rant about that one). He stops me with hands in the air. I am immediately totally peed off. He says, I am a Psychiatrist - no kidding dude. I would hope you are one. Tell me what I can do for you. So, I start again, I tell the man that I need to tell you about my file so that you can understand I was without meds for two months. He stops me again. Tells me I talk to fast which means I am highly intelligent but have disruptive thought patterns. DUDE. Dont get me started, please. Just gimme my script and I will go. So I tell him I am depressed more than usual and you need to up my anti-depressant. He starts again, no he wont do that, because of this nonsense and that blah blah. Then he does not even look in my file he ASKS me what I am on and my dosage. There I lost it. My response. Dr, do not ever again assume that you know more about bipolar than a bipolar sufferer. Just because you studied Psychiatry does not mean you are an expert on it. I have lived with it for 25 years. I know more about Bipolar disorder than most. Your putting your hands in the air and telling me all kinds of bull does not amuse me. You are a Pdoc, not my therapist. The only thing you can do for me is to give me the medication that I need. Dont ever assume again that you know more than me, because you dont. The only thing you know more about than me is medication. And furthermore, if you consider any further career in Psychiatry I suggest you alter your bedside manner. And one last thing, this is the last time I see you, I want my old Pdoc back, and can I please have my script. He complied.
