Grandma of 3, I want your pdoc! Haha. Mine's good, but not that good. I want to be a pdoc when I grow up (however long that will take), and I'm hoping that I'll be more empathetic because I've been through mental illness myself.

I once saw a pdoc who confessed that she had some patients on 20 different meds. Another pdoc, who works with my university's health center, refuses to see me because I am "too complex". This really annoys me because I really like her. And I could have seen her for free! My current pdoc sometimes rushes through our appts; though I'm scheduled for 30 min, he's done with me after 15. Oftentimes, I have things that I still want to tell him, but I'm too cowardly to speak up. He also spends a lot of time talking about his own little theories (and he has a theory on everything). Overall, though, he is a good pdoc.
