((((Lost)))) Do you see your Pdoc for full 50-minute sessions or the fairly typical drive-through session?

My Pdoc has done that to me. I learned that is when I have to communicate that he is off base (he doesn't see the whole picture). He hardly knows what is going on with me - other than my physical, emotional symptoms and bits and pieces of what we can smoosh into a 10 minute (or-less) session. He is super smart, a great MD, but he isn't Kreskin.

I've been seeing the guy for 8 years, and I adore him but he has thoroughly p***** me off once of twice. Seriously. Sometimes he just does not get it, and it's because he truly does not KNOW what is going on or how I got there (he doesn't know the whole story. He just hears a symptom).

(And how could he? I see him for 10 minutes every 3 months and he has never read my T file...he has full access, of course).

The first time he made an off-handed remark, I was so angry after I left, I had to pull off in a parking lot and call him at the office to TELL him that I was angry, and why.

When I explained the whole situation (he actually opened his schedule a bit more for me to talk to him without rushing), and then he was like, "ohhhhhhhhh. I didn't know that. no wonder."

Really.
