My first pdoc was like that. I felt like she wanted me to hurry out so she could get her next client/payment. It really made me mad!

My new pdoc books 30-minute appointments, but we rarely take that long. I think that's more because of me, though. He tries to initiate conversation, but since I see him infrequently I tend to be very anxious and uncomfortable (compared to how I am with my T) and that means I clam up.

Also, talking about my symptoms seems kind of pointless because there's no med for the stuff that bothers me most (startle response and flashbacks). T and I work hard on those and get relief. Pdoc has clumsily talked about my issues but since he doesn't know me that well, it tends to be pretty simplified and generic. Like, he says, "You don't need to feel bad about what X did. He was wrong!" But his heart is in the right place. Mostly I see pdoc to talk about sleep/get my sleep med. Still, if I wanted to talk more about things, I know pdoc would listen and try to help.

If you're not satisfied with your pdoc visits, I encourage you to try a new one. You should feel like you are getting adequate time with your doctor!
