Hey, since I'm on a roll, let me tell you about a call I got from another doctor today. I was sooooo impressed:
Yesterday I called Divers Alert Network (DAN) to check what the issues were regarding the use of Lithium in scuba diving. I got put in touch with a doctor who fielded my call. She was so helpful, she spent 5 minutes discussing my background and what she could see were the implications of Lithium for diving - all over the phone!
Today she phones me back again, having conferred with a psychiatrist who also happens to be clued up in hyperbaric medicine and diving, and proceeded to spend another 5 minutes telephonically discussing the implications of diving with bipolar disorder, and the pros and cons of lithium and valproate for diving. I was so blown away by her unusual care and offer of support. I called DAN up today to tell them how amazed I was at how much trouble she had gone through to help me.

So I can happily say that not all doctors are glued to their pay cheques in a way that makes you feel like the meat in a sausage machine.
