We just shorthanded them.

I have a Nurse Practitioner who right now serves as both my pdoc and my T. I never thought I'd see anybody less than a PhD, as the lower levels of education irritate me more than they help. I used to have a pdoc and T that were in the same office or earlier that were friends and worked as a team for me, but when I moved out here into the middle of nowhere, all there was available (without an hour's drive or more) was an NP. So she works with my GP to get me the meds she can't prescribe, like sleeping pills. But she can prescribe most of my psych meds, and I'm stable enough that I don't need many changes.

I don't know what would happen exactly in a crisis. I should ask her that...
