i am going to stay with the off topic thing for one sec - i think it is AWESOME that your pdoc encourages you to make your own decisions in this way.

i have a phd in psych (criminal justice, not the clinical side, but obviously you do a fair few abnormal psyc, etc papers all the same). My doctor knows this and will occasionally speak to me "as a colleague" (his words). i completely trust him but i think he knows i don't react well to being told what to do, i want some input as well. if i said i wanted to do my own research that would be encouraged (and i do).

horses for courses i guess
